    I think the whole country will breathe a sigh of relief with a change of government. There’s already 1 good indicator that things will improve with a change of government in that the markets didn’t soil their pants on the announcement of a GE and the very obvious certainty that there’s a change...

    I don’t understand the opposition to a coalition government. The last time we had anything near to resembling a functioning government it was a coalition. Regardless of what you thought about the politics the one thing that they did do was get on with the business of Government without the...

    Then the current PM made sure it effected the UK by lobbying for the RBS to takeover a distressed bank which bought down RBS. Still, he earned a few million out of it so every cloud… The hard truth is Sunak did more to crash the UK economy than Labour did in 2008. The criticism that should be...
