Remember when Liz Truss had her budget and she claimed the money markets were woke and left wing ? 

She was totally fucking batshit crazy. 

[Winchester White]

Seems the markets have settled down

Impossible. I have been hearing for nearly two decades now about the wonders of diversity and inclusion and the UK's embracing of these. You must be wrong.

According to some of your recent posts, Poland must be on its knees due to its immigration policies?

Fuck sake I was about to cash in and sell a few bonds and gilts.

Same here, but fortunately I managed to offload seventeen of my unicorns to a leprechaun.

It also seems that gilts dropped worldwide due to US and Eurozone inflation. So the UK impact linked to the budget wasn’t actually as significant. Still expecting a drop in interest rates this year too. 👍🏻

That would be helpful as I’d quite like to move house in the next couple of years and the Liz Truss mortgage rate mess is still hanging around like a bad smell.

On a more encouraging note mate, a local news item last night interviewed a bloke doing this:-

Mentioned window cleaning amongst other stuff he does and reckons he's knocking out $15,000-$17,500 per month. Land of opportunity still.

Have Labour crashed our economy now then?

Is a loaf of bread going to cost £30371 by Monday?

My gilts are just sat in a drawer now looking a bit fed up

Apparently badenough is favourite

I thought it was jenrick

Electorally, it needs to be weird kemi

Either way, its a shitshow

[Spider]

If there was a gun to my head I’d pick Jenrick.

Badenock is hilarious but not to be taken seriously.

Which is why she’ll probably win. The Tories are a casserole of lunacy at the minute.

[Casino]

Jenrick will chase the reform vote

Decent tories will move to libs

Theyre stuck

Kemi is truss levels loon

Kemi "working class" Badenoch or Bob dog whistle Jenrick. What a choice! 😁 

[Cheese]

Whoever it is, I highly doubt they'll still be leader by the next election.

[little whitt]

she has won 

 

[Not in Crawley]

😂🤣😂🤣

Funny. Just very, very funny.

[kent_white]

I know precisely nothing about her. Can someone fill me in with all I need to know condensed into about 10 words as a favour please?

She once hacked a Labour MP's website.
