Liz Truss’s time is up

[Sue]

Absolute political suicide.

Starmer's on course for a massive massive landslide.

What a time to be alive.

(Haven't been following the polling so no idea how likely that is but Jeezo. )

Paywall busted link - Labour surges in polls as ‘clown show’ economics turns off voters

There's stunning poll results in that.

Kwarteng’s decision to scrap the 45 per cent rate of tax for those earning more than £150,000 was opposed by 72 per cent of voters including 69 per cent of those who backed the Conservatives in 2019.

The move to lift restrictions on bankers’ bonuses was rejected by 71 per cent of the electorate, including 67 per cent of Tory voters.

Just 9 per cent of voters thought that the measures outlined in the budget would make them better off, while only 15 per cent believed they would achieve the government’s aim of kickstarting economic growth.

Overall, 60 per cent said Kwarteng’s £45 billion tax giveaway was unaffordable for the country and 25 per cent thought that the government had a clear plan to manage the economy.

The poll findings will alarm Tory MPs coming on top of today’s market reaction to the government’s plans to increase borrowing in the short term to boost growth.

Just 19 per cent of voters thought Kwarteng’s budget was “fair” — the worst polling figure since YouGov began to ask the question in 2010.

One Conservative source said: “If your plan is unpopular with the markets but popular with voters, then that’s an OK place to be. But if you’ve spent all this money and it’s unpopular with everyone, then that is very dangerous.”

Well. I'll say it again. Everyone I know who know in those circles who know Rishi Sunak say he's incredibly intelligent and was clearly the right man for the job. So. Well. We've got this shitshow instead who will obvs destroy the Party but at what cost in the short term. Very depressing.

But then again, you're not a professional anchor broadcasting from Australia on the biggest global news item of the time.

I actually would say that the fault there is with the design of the bell-stand rather than Liz Truss.

 

[two sheds]

rather than the bell-end.
