Not really. He doesn’t seem to understand boom and bust is just the nature of capitalism, it’s not down to specific individuals as he seems to suggest

[@johnmurphy4814]

​@@Sean-xy4hk Good grief, you must enjoy that hole in the ground your head has clearly been stuck in. It's known as 'the Ostrich effect' - and you are firmly in its grasp. The uniparty isn't 'financially illiterate', they know exactly what they're doing, legislating for corporations not the people. The whole government is a series of corporations & their job is to ensure corporations suck as much out of the economy as possible - boom and bust is the best tactic, not a natural occurance...

[@rogerwalker5169]

@@Sean-xy4hk You are right I agree, but the booms are becoming less frequent and more like a pop (maybe a year), whereas rthe busts are more prolonged (at least a decade).

He may be speaking for many, including myself in some respects, but he should have gotten his facts straight, which he didn't. There has been no boom and bust the last 14 years, only decline and lack of investement. Rachel reeves is more qualified to run the country's finances than any previous Tory chancellor, and the "no money" letter has been left by chancellors of all colours over the years, it's a joke.
