So much wrong here
Truss picked up a policy direct from so-called ‘taxpayers’ alliance’ - actually a libertarian lobby group
Both candidates shifting to the right to impress Tory membership
No accountability to electorate as a whole

Bank of England raises interest rates to provoke a recession to counter inflation
But inflation is caused by Covid bounceback, Ukraine war and Brexit
If we need to reduce demand we should tax the rich and use cash raised to support those on low incomes

I can't remember a time when the economic outlook was so grim
But there's no response from the government
Pretty obvious that they just don't give a s***
Meanwhile those fighting to become our next PM indulge in fantasy economics

@sandtreader Actually the post Covid boom is probably the largest factor causing inflation. Job of monetary authorities is to smooth out the reverberations, not exacerbate them. But that would be politics and we’ve chosen to abdicate political responsibility for money

This looks like panicking about inflation
In the middle of a cost of living crisis this action will damage families and businesses
Of course we can’t be complacent about inflation, but this sort of increase in the cost of money will surely push us into recession

Global heating is scorching the UK, but also creating dangerous feedback loops
We need to redesign our systems and our economy - and urgently

@panny_antoniou I don’t think you’re understanding my tweet
I’m saying that in a democracy every party has a right to stand
Labour has to do better, not attempt to remove others from the contest

Why are we still buying products made in China?
We should at least have the option of buying from an economy that is not a threat to world peace and respects human rights
For every essential product

Tory leadership ballot papers delayed due to security fears
A bunch of amateurs running an election where fewer than 200,000 people choose our next Prime Minister
This is an utter farce and the new PM will have no legitimacy
