[@forthfarean]

Hodges writes for The Mail but talks like a Socialist in my view.

[@forthfarean]

The real situation with Truss is that the establishment wanted Sunak, the Tory party, in the larger sense, wanted Truss. The economic establishment basically sabotaged Truss who brought in a Conservative, right wing budget. The way I understand it ,the economic establishment refused to loan funding for the policies. The Truss budget if allowed to go ahead could well have worked. The truth is that the parliamentary Tory party wanted Sunak and were intent on getting him. Truss was sabotaged.

[@bradtenbonga]

When your policies are not focussed on the safety and security of your population then it follows like night follows day you will fail . Even the simplest of us can work out that over taxation , removal of critical financial support from old people , combined with un controlled government spending on its self will end in disaster . No where else on earth does this tax high spend more on government drive growth , and history tells us it never has . It’s people that drive growth through spending and if I have none to spend then it’s not a difficult problem to understand that there is no growth . Rachel and Starmer are completely out of their depth , they should simply be brave and do something right and walk away …..
