The Yorkshire Post has written an open letter to Truss the cunt: 'Whose side are you on, Prime Minister?' - An open letter to Liz Truss from The Yorkshire Post

Boris Johnson....all but destroyed any trust that previously existed between the electorate and those who govern... We do not believe the Westminster elite and its caravan of Whitehall sycophants cares a jot about we who live and work in the regions. ‘Levelling Up’ to date has proved a unicorn policy that exists only in the rhetoric of those who wish to deceive us.

No shit Sherlock! So why did your readers vote for Brexit and Johnson?? Were they stupid enough to be suckered? Or are they just racists? Somebody please write to the editor on my behalf.

 

[Ax^]

hey Clapson you can redirect some of the anger to the media of this country the mail, the sun and others rather than the voters

they have been lied with a massive disinformation campaign for years and some fell for it

 

[philosophical]

What Truss is saying it seems to me, is that the ‘protocol’ negotiated, agreed to, and signed up to by the UK is threatening the GFA because it is increasing tension between the supposed two communities in Northern Ireland.
That is the no shit Sherlock bit.
The solution is to have a proper customs union between the UK and the EU.
However she has put two headbanger ERG people in place who say ‘leaving’ means no customs union.
In order for the EU to protect the integrity of their single market the only solution would be a hard border, which would threaten and smash the GFA.
It is becoming a who blinks first scenario with the extra spice of Biden warning Truss yesterday to negotiate a solution with the EU. Which is what the UK did when it suggested the protocol it now says threatens the GFA and the UK wants to dump.
There is no solution possible in the current circumstances.
The simple choice it seems to me is a customs Union aka the UK rejoining the EU, or a hard border which (as the PSNI have warned) will lead to violence and death.
This situation has been brought on by everybody who voted leave.
If anybody reading this has a practical, workable and acceptable solution then maybe they could say what it is.

did they? all of them? or even most of them?

So we seem to have the a tory version of the adams family for a government - chock full of right wing headbanging freaks and cranks. Probably electorally suicidal - but just how much damage are they going to do before they get booted out? fucking grim.

I think it's time to start stockpiling bog roll again.

We've already ordered one of them two-ring camping stoves with a grill underneath so we can make beans on toast for christmas dinner when the power goes out.

The government borrowed hundreds of billions of pounds during the Covid pandemic and has to borrow similar sum for cost of living relief. Oil companies are making bumper profits, many times the profits they made in the previous years, largely attributed to soaring prices because of the invasion of Ukraine. Households and businesses pay for the soaring prices and profits of energy, which constitute a large portion of the income or benefits.

UK oil and gas companies pay total corporation tax on their profits at 40%. However, they also benefit from a wide range of tax reliefs for investment and decommissioning. The result is that most UK oil and gas companies have barely paid any tax over the last five years.

The case for a UK windfall tax on oil and gas giants is unanswerable | Michael Jacobs

While the likes of BP make colossal profits, consumers face huge bills. The solution is clear, says professor of political economy Michael Jacobs

sorry not been paying attention...am i right in thinking this 130billion bail out is basically tax payers money going to private companies to "compensate" them for a price cap?

I think they'll struggle to get this through because it's not like truss was the mps' choice as leader and it's obviously really fucking stupid

Interesting twitter thread here that looks at the (potentially eyewatering) figures Truss's current proposals could easily snowball to.

So, the "solution" is effectively a new Energy Tax? All this talk about cutting the "green levy" is actually hiding a massive new tax. Not hiding particularly well, mind.

Liz Truss to unveil energy bill price cap

That's really going to help with the thawing tundra.

What they really need to to do is recommission Rough (so there is a damping buffer on market prices), but no point making Keynesian spending commitments til after the correction

Slightly off topic, but look how this cunt of a columnist described the new cabinet.

A long-standing daily newspaper columnist has been suspended after he described ethnic minority MPs promoted by new PM Liz Truss as “the coconut cabinet.”

Iain Macwhirter, political commentator with Scottish daily The Herald, has apologised for the use of the term in a Twitter thread about the fact that none of the great offices of state are held by white men.

The former BBC political correspondent has been told his column in the Newsquest-owned title has been suspended while they investigate the “offensive tweet.”
