Pretty much everything is traded in dollars. From seeds to metals to frozen concentrated orange juice (the last one is for the film connoisseurs). From the minute you eat your breakfast to the second you switch your lights out before going to bed the exchange rate is effecting our lives.

Leftist plot. Oh the joys of being in a cult, regardless of reality you can convince yourself it’s everyone else’s fault

What are you expecting from them exactly? They’ve made quite a lot of policy announcements this week, was there really nothing that tickled your fancy?

The policy announcements too. There’s finally something to judge Starmers labour on. Still don’t rate Starmer other than at least he’s not Truss or Boris but the policies being announced so far sit OK with me. I’ll still vote tactically at the next GE but that’s likely to be Labour as the best...

It’s a great idea. Nationalise renewables and expand it.

There’s the other point too that countries that have recently been run by right wing populists are turning their back on it. Trump out in the US, Bolsonaro currently polling to lose 50% of the vote he got at the last GE in next month’s GE and lose the presidency, France once again rejected the...

Of course he does, he’s a moron.

That’s a quarter of what the government is going to pay in extra interest on the countries current debt this year due to it’s mismanagement of the economy just in the last week. On that basis I’m going to say £2.5B to Ukraine is money well spent.

Rishi Sunak has predicted that they will be by November. So far he’s been 100% right about Truss’ economic plans. You could be heading to another we hold all the cards moment.

His only line of defence is to pretend to be stupid.

I think he’s still living of the glory of being right about us holding all the cards in brexit negotiations. No, wait. He was completely wrong on that one too.

That’s levelling down you moron not levelling up.

The statements from the COE and BOE worked well then

Not sure they’re taking this seriously now. Going to make an emergency statement, in six weeks. Almost as long as it takes to get an ambulance sorry, make that 8 weeks!

No idea. But lenders are lining up to pull fixed rate deals now for new customers. Not sure if that includes mortgages agreed but not yet implemented.

Mortgage market getting jittery now. Hope this doesn’t effect your situation NW

Imagine my shock when I woke up on Sunday morning to find that I was still alive. Talk about an anticlimax.
