    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.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    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...

    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.

    The average house price in the UK now is 65 times higher than it was in the 1970’s. The average wage now on the other hand is only 36 times higher. What ever point you think you’re making it’s irrelevant. On the balance of all the facts.

    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.

    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.

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

    Noticed that too Terry. Everything in Rugby was selling pretty much the moment it went on the market, a house around the corner from us has had the for sale board up for 4 weeks now, not seen that in our area for a good couple of years.

    Mini Budget

    Look at his employment history, look at who has financed his political career, look at who’s benefited from his policies. I’ll give you a clue. All the same people. Just to add clips of the leadership contest are doing the rounds of Rishi Sunak saying this is what would happen if she did it...

    What a mess the country is in. Me and the wife were reminiscing last night about how we were saying in 2009 that at least all this happening now means our children will leave school into a better economic environment than friends of ours who had kids much much younger than us and their kids were...

    What a conundrum. Glad I’m not in your position. There’s so many potential variables. Assuming you have a fixed rate on the mortgage agreement? If so how long is it fixed for? If mortgage rates go through the roof at least short term how exposed are you going to be to having a mortgage that you...
