BoJo banished - Liz Truss down. Is Rishi next for the toaster? **threadbans in OP**

And anyone who disagrees with you is a raving lefty.

Glad we cleared that up.

Good morning - you must be new. Everything's been liveral/libtard/leftist/raving according to the conservative mindset for a while now.

The mistake you are making is thinking that posters are are pointing out the issues with the Tories and Truss are doing so only from the POV of being on the left or hating the UK or the Tories.

You seem unable to look at criticism as anything other than a political attack, rather than looking at the issue itself. That probably says more about your POV than many of the posters.

Are you happy with how Truss has handled this? Do you agree with the roll back on the limit on bankers bonuses? Do you agree that they were right to push ahead a massive tax cut without any figures or plan of how to make it up?

Do you think Truss was right to break a promise of fracking, without any reason for why the position had changed and what 'local consensus' actually meant? Are you happy dhe has explained why and how fracking is going to deal with the energy crisis.

Are you happy that in the same budget that they gave the richest 1% a 5% tax cut, they provided nothing for the cost of living crisis and have no plans on training, upskilling, education?

Are you happy that apart from threatening those on income support with loss of support unless they take up jobs, they did nothing to deal with the chronic shortage of workers in the UK in order to drive the return on investment on which the entire policy is based?

That the referendum passed is not the issue. It is how the result was hijacked to mean a No deal brexit was the desired outcome that is the problem.

No bankers bonuses shouldn't be an issue, if the other side is that any bank losses will not be taken on the shoulders of the taxpayers. Taxpayers footed the bill for the reckless trading and culture of the banks that help lead to such massive issues in 2008 and the regulation on bankers bonuses was part of the policy to avoid the same happing in the future. Thus the relaxation of the regulation, without any other measures to avoid a repeat is the issue.

5% tax cut that almost nobody was asking for, at a time when the government is having to pay out massive amounts due to Covid lockdowns and the increasing costs due to energy etc. It is claimed that given all these, already wealthy people, extra money will lead to extra investment. Yet nothing is said about the inflationary effect of such a big amount of additional money in the system. At the same time, railway workers, nurses etc are told that they cannot get increases in wages as this would lead to rampant inflation.

If they had the funds available to give tax cuts, why not give tax cuts at the bottom end, as every penny of tax saved would be spent since those at the lowest end are already struggling to cope?

It's still a first world powerhouse.
