Quote in that article from a Tory party member.

"You hear people say that Conservative Party members should not be able to vote because they made a mistake last time, but that forgets the fact that they were given a Hobson’s choice last time.

“They were only asked to choose between Truss and Sunak, even though other candidates such as Kemi Badenoch and Suella Braverman would have been more popular."

Jesus wept.

He's saying the Tory members voted for Truss because two even more barking mad options were not available to them.

Conveniently forgetting May was foisted on them without a vote, or a peep out of them that time.

Lest we forget how horrific the Truss Govt was. The one cheered on by the swivel eyed loons on the right of the Tory party.

That graph is from the BoE yesterday. 100 basis points is 1%.

The Truss apologists are still saying that Govt interest rates shot up because of "global factors". The BoE are saying that nearly all the rise, 2% in total, was due to Trussonomics.

Some perspective. 2% increase in the interest rate that Govt has to pay on its debts is equal to about £50bn. That's money pissed away by the idiotic Truss/Kwarteng/Tufton Street experiment.

When Hunt announces the massive spending cuts and tax rises he is planning, and when the Tories try to blame it on "global factors", it's your choice if you believe them.

Just...words!

Thats all ok then, he can carry on as normal insulated from the energy  crisis with his over inflated earnings and his ministerial pension, while the rest of us struggle with our energy bills, and increased mortgage payments for some, and 10% inflation, because he got carried away, he ought to be carried away, straight to prison!
