I'm guessing they're going for the Johnson/US republican trick of screaming socialism when nothing like it is being offered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you can increase taxes during a cost of living crisis. They don't propose unfunded tax cuts though. And yeah, the windfall tax isn't a minor difference.

scoobos 297 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) 21 hours ago, Rayvin said: From the guardian's review of her performance published just now: Truss also marks a very welcome change from Boris Johnson, in that (for the most part) she was willing to answer questions, and engage in an argument about policy and ideas. This, of course, is what is meant to happen. But for the last three years we have been governed by a prime minister much more interested in politics as performance and entertainment, and so it is refreshing to tilt back to ideas. But that is where the whole encounter was less positive for Truss. She won the Conservative leadership contest on a low-tax, small-state agenda that put her well to the right of any Tory leader for a generation. Truss has always been a libertarian (it’s why she joined the Liberal Democrats at university), but during the summer it was never entirely clear to what extent she was just pandering to her party’s cruder, Thatcherite instincts. But now we know; it’s worse than that (to quote an old Westminster joke) – she really does believe it. I think I've vented before here about the Guardian - for me it's the Mail on the other side of the spectrum. "libertarian" has fuck all to do with the Liberal Democrats. It refers to neoliberalist economics, not liberal politics.

Renton 17822 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well I never. @Rayvin might have been right. Never underestimate the sheer idiocy of the British electorate. I maintain that it's early days and Truss will undoubtedly fuck things up, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34596 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 She was always gonna get a new PM bounce. I'm not worried. This govt is going to be objectively awful, and people will discover that soon enough. Have I missed some comedy appointment here? Wtf is Peter Bone doing on the front bench next to Mordaunt?

Gemmill 34596 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Here lads, stop asking Mordaunt questions ffs. We want to know what's going on with energy prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17822 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I agree mainly although I didn't expect any bounce. Possibly people relieved that they will not freeze to death this winter will help. even if that does jeopardise the economy and lock them into a lifetime of impoverishment whilst the energy companies rake in tax payers money. Mind, the fact that Truss will do this, which is about as far away as the free market neoliberal idealogue she has been presented as, prove she has no idealogy and is purely in it for herself in the short-term, just like Johnson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34596 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The Speaker is "very disappointed" that Truss has only released her statement to the house 5 minutes before reading it out. Oooooo I'm sure your disappointment will be noted you spineless prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 As I said yesterday, we need to remain vigilant because this is a clear change of tack from Johnson - for all this analysis of 'clear blue sky' between Starmer and Truss, it's the consideration of this between Truss and Johnson that we need to be concerned about. By coming out and saying what she believes in, she has potentially wrongfooted Starmer who is still fighting this battle on a field that is not aligned with his own principles. They will sell her as sincere, willing to make tough decisions, and someone who has a vision for how we should move forward. People want a vision, I've been saying this specific line for fucking years. The fact that she is none of those things won't matter - the packaging the media give her will cut through.
