Lettuce Liz then Tetchy Rish! and the battle to replace him

[Wilf Wolf]

Decent read, a lot of it obvious, but worth a look:

The economic vandalism of Liz Truss will take down the housing market

Everyone should care about interest rates

But growth...

At least the Express has this covered

Daily Mail blaming those nasty traders for buggering the economy. How dare they take short positions when briefed about the contents of Kwasi’s a-level economics paper?

Bridgen going for Russia, the BoE and the lack of fracking

That poll suggests the only thing he should be going for in 2024 is the dole queue.

When's the earliest a GE can be called?

Today.

So what is gonna have to happen to call one?

Edit - Just Googled it. So it's all down to Truss, and she ain't gonna call one until the last possible moment.

Tory MPs develop a conscience

So what is gonna have to happen to call one?

If the Conservatives had a lead in the polls and call one or the opposition wins a vote of no confidence in the Government. Its not going to happen any time soon.

The worst case scenario is...

The current Parliament first met on Tuesday 17 December 2019 and will automatically dissolve on Tuesday 17 December 2024, unless it has been dissolved sooner by the King.

Polling Day would be expected to take place 25 days later.

Yep. Two years of this shit show. Which will turn to a scorched earth policy as they do as much damage as possible, allow Labour a win and then spend five years blaming Labour for not fixing it to try and win in 2029 / 2030.

Even Dan Hodges thinks this is insane

Shit at slogans as well as everything else.

Delivering more jobs, don't we have 2 million vacancies that we can't fill?

 

[Sniffer]

Moving? - out of our houses because we can't afford the increase in interest rates?
