UK's Truss says she'll slash taxes despite economic crisis

[papasmurf]

I am sorry Pappy. The Mods hate you and want you to eat yourself to death, but I see you as a friend and worry about your health

I see you as vary nasty bastard.

[Sheepy]

The place is full of geniuses Borchester if you are still in the land of the living, because now they reckon it will be a 100 billion boost for the economy,  but isn't that already swallowed by inflation and interest rate rises which just means borrowing more to pay for it at a higher rate, just creates more debt. 

[Borchester]

It isn't that I don't understand Pappy, more that I don't care.


That said, that £50 monthly shortfall in your budget should keep your food bill and weight down, which will be a plus health and NHS cost wise. So that is something to the good

Enough of the insults

It is how you sell yourself around here.

Though in your case where serious ends and just trying to be funny begins is often not clear as the one merges into the other.

You are a good lad Steve, but you have the unfortunate belief that politics matter and should be taken seriously

[Borchester]

Frankly the Tories, (government and party members,) seem to have no clue about how bad the situation is.  I don't know if they just don't care, are callous, ill-informed or incompetent.
The cost-of-living situation gets worse by the week. (My wife and I's monthly budget account for the household groceries/consumables was £50 short last month due to price rises. We have had to adjust what we pay into it.)

Very kind of you to say so Steve.

Borchester doesn't give a stuff about the poor. He is a typical Tory. What's in it for him is all he cares about. Me, me, me.

Like all Tories if it's money for others, especially those who have least, it is reckless spending in his eyes. But if it's money to line his own pockets he suddenly morphs into a believer in magic money trees and bottomless pits.

I'd say it is a case of all of those.

The problem is the poorest will only get their taxes cut by 63p

Splendid girl.

Anyone who does not want a tax cut should send their share to me
