The BOE raises interest rates. Something's got to stop this booming overheated economy I suppose.

Don’t worry we’ve got breathing space according to the Burnham budget

The tax take on interest are also going up. Currently 20% and 40%.

It’s surprising but Badenoch is gaining ground and it’s only Farage that’s standing in the way of a likely Tory lead in the polls now

That’s one from the last you gov poll? Didn’t you show a poll at 32% support?

two of those polls show reform still as the major opposition party - look I get it. You backed Starmer who was a c**t and now you are clinging to Burnham as someone told you Labour are the good guys.

The budget was embarrassing and interest rates and inflation are rising,

Not looking good for the grifter in a T shirt is it really?

Hahaha the state of this

'Look at this poll! It shows a catastrophic drop of... 1 point!'

'OK well all these other polls show a Labour majority'

'Not looking good is it'


Cope harder.

If you say so. I’m sure the country is ecstatic at mortgages going up - with respect you seem a voice on your own right now regarding this government on here? Why is that do you think?

Prices have gone up because of the Iran war... which you were in favour of. Own it.

I don't really care what anyone else here thinks, everyone is welcome to vote for who they like.

But the polls, despite your hilarious misreading of them, and regardless of how much it clearly upsets you, are quite obviously showing Labour as the most popular party right now.

The most respected poll shows a narrowing gap to the actual opposition but unlike you most on here won’t just tick a box as someone has told you they are the good guys.

Do you think when people are facing mortgage hikes they will just say it’s fine and Andy is blameless? Do you?

Is there anyway around the increase?

Vikrum Digwa has not only lost his appeal today, but has also had his minimum term of 21years extended to a minimum term of 25years! Scumbag, wasting courts time. Let him die in there pleading for his life just like Henry Nowak was whilst he stood there claiming racism!

As an adage to this, was his mother not meant to be released early and deported? That seems to have gone very quiet? Are they just hoping everyone forgets and she can stay in the country unnoticed?

No, theyll blame Farage and/or Trumps war in Iran.

It is of course the Labour Party that is wholly responsible for allowing interest rates to rise from the BOE

Just a point of order on this, they said she *could* be deported, as in that was an option that could theoretically be explored. No one has said that the intention is to follow that path, the reporting of it was a bit off.

There may be scope for that I think., around march this year it definitely stopped a reduced interest rate IMO..
I was actually commenting at the time?
Actually predicted further increases too.

[PVA]

I'm sure plenty will.

But plenty won't, because they can see what's causing price increases. Even the yanks are smart enough to spot that.

Its actually amazing watching you trying to blame the government for something you supported.

 

[Captain Dart]

A badly run economy or what.

 

[SBAndy]

Because you sound like Liz Truss.

I was referencing that Gordon brown created an independent panel for setting interest rates when previously it was down to the elected government

I know you were, hence sounding like Truss when she was whinging recently about the independence of the BoE.
