Voters rate "honesty/integrity" as the most important virtue for the next PM. But how much honesty do they really want?

Can someone explain why 7 per cent interest rates - still three or four points below inflation - would mean the end of civilisation as we understand it?

RT @DanielJHannan: A few commentators tried to warn during the lockdown that every day of it would mean more inflation, higher taxes and a slower recovery. They were called callous killers. Now, those who demanded the strictest possible restrictions rage about the consequences. Funny old world.

@OriginalWhig Most Whigs allied with the Conservatives as Liberal Unionists. The "and Unionist" bit of our party's title dates from their formal merger in 1912. Others were absorbed as Coupon Liberals and, later, National Liberals. We are a coalition of Tories and Whigs.

The LibDems are moaning because the Foreign Secretary spends too much time in the air. What next? That the Home Secretary spends too much time with the police? That the Defence Secretary spends too much time with guns?
Does anyone fall for this drivel?
