    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If they come through as actuals then fair enough, however, the pandemic has meant countries have recovered at different times so we’ll probably grow more than many of them this year, so might the US In any event they are extremely unlikely to be accurate. I’ve just googled Germany and think...

    Appreciate we’ve got our own problems, but at least we’ve only got ours to worry about…to some extent

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Wrong thread everyone !…oh and is Tony ok ? I’m a bit unnerved there’s a Brexit discussion going on and he’s not involved. (sorry, couldn’t resist 😊). A couple of comments. Nearly all the current economic issues are global and although Brexit hasn’t helped (and would definitely have had a...

    Fuel prices

    I presume a lot depends on what mileage is being done. I remember reading an article which suggested that an EV doesn’t start having a positive footprint compared to a new petrol until 40k miles due to higher emissions in production. I think this changes depending on how charging electricity is...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    You’d hope that countries like China and India are finally applying pressure behind the scenes. Wouldn’t bet on it but maybe

    Fuel prices

    Not sure if I mentioned on this thread or elsewhere but I heard someone saying supermarkets used to be a main driver to get petrol/diesel prices down as they’d want to attract customers in store. However, partly to do with customers buying habits changing during/since pandemic (more online...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    From Times article 😳 ‘If she wins Truss is expected to promote either Simon Clarke, chief secretary to the Treasury, or Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, to chancellor’ Could be handy ! Also… ‘ Nadine Dorries, the culture secretary, and Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Brexit opportunities...

    I agree in a way, you can’t knock someone for changing or altering views over time, in fact it’s what should happen if circumstances or information changes. It’s whether she truly believes in what she is now saying that I think most people are questioning

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Shes worse than Johnson when it comes to beliefs. She’ll just say and do whatever it takes to progress and get power. Views change like the wind ! If membership can’t see that, more fool them…although we’ll pay the price You also wonder who she’s promised what to (ERG etc) to get their support

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Heard an expert on LBC earlier in the week suggesting that Ukraine will carry on building up/training troops (up to a million) before going on the offensive. I think he was also saying ukraines missiles now have a longer range than Russias* Let’s hope they can pressure Russia into some kind of...

    A lot of damage could be done in two years and there’s going to be some massive decisions to make regarding the economy, NI protocol and the war Look at the people who publicly support truss, if some of them are going to be in the cabinet we are in trouble

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You’d think so but heard the voting papers are sent out before a lot of the hustings take place so loads could vote on current views…which is not good for Sunak !

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah, it’s been said by a couple of presenters on LBC tonight that he’s got his supporters voting for Truss as he’d rather face her than Mordant in final two. Can understand where he’s coming from, from a personal perspective so would I if I was him (although disagree with tactical voting)...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    He should be comfortably in the final two but they’ll be a massive Johnson gang push for members to vote Truss (who I think will get through). As I mentioned yesterday rumours that Patel and Wallace might come out in support of Truss either before tomorrows vote or if Truss gets to final two...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It could well be enough to drive me into Starmers arms…not quite sure that’s coming over all socialist though. I just think she’ll be shambles Ps if you vote for Truss ahead of Sunak/Mordant I’m sticking you on ignore
