Wonder how long it's going to take for Truss to realise she's in way over her head, and either resigns or calls a snap GE.
- short term pain, long term gain. Basically sell the UK. It's game over. Future = cheap currency, tax haven, & once the public are on their knees,shapesalad
- a cheap labour source, though not highly educated or hard working like you can get in china.shapesalad

Just glad we were able to get the queen of england’s funeral sorted before the economy collapsed.
- Do you think it would have been any different if it was next week, two years ago or five years time? That shit's been planned for decades.Morning_star
- Perhaps the funeral should have been sponsored by a major brand to help fund it. Maybe BP, as she could be used for fossil fuel now.Chimp
- @Morning_star The funeral was planned for decades? Or the UK economy tanking?Continuity
- The funeral. Why would a government plan to tank the economy?Morning_star

The markets are in meltdown – but at least Kwasi Kwarteng’s doomsday cult isn’t to blame
https://www.theguardian.com/comm…
Great writing from the author here
__
I’m not saying Kwarteng’s efforts to retain his grandeur are doomed, but this feels a little like screaming “I don’t comment on this stuff because I have DIGNITY, OK?!” while standing naked in the middle of your local high street in a LIV golf cap with a nappy round your ankles.
__Shift your thousand-yard stare to the front page of today’s Daily Mail, next, to which this line has now graduated. The paper splashes with “FURY AT THE CITY SLICKERS BETTING AGAINST UK PLC”. Yes! Why do they hate Britain? Is it something to do with avocados? Are they in league with Meghan and the BBC? Are markets woke? Is the Mail on meth?
__Welcome, too, to the Treasury minister Richard Fuller, who looks like he’d list his hobbies as “prefer not to say”, and believes that young people should come off their “plodding path” and become venture capitalists. In many ways they already are, Richard. Buying anything less than a 600-multipack of a household essential is a cavalier act of faith in this economy.
