It won’t be for the faint hearted and I’m sure Starmer will make sure he gets his 6 questions spot on to further ridicule the PM. Popcorn event if ever there was one!
Nothing is off the table will be the stock answer.
Scott Benton won't be amongst them that's for sure.
Surely Labour would welcome some RWNJ's' to join up with their LWNJ's? They could then truly claim to
She came out swinging
Which is odd as only a couple of hours before James Cleverly was saying nothing was certain.
The only thing that makes life possible is permanent and intolerable uncertainty, not knowing what comes next.Which is odd as only a couple of hours before James Cleverly was saying nothing was certain.
Credit where credit's due, in Liz Truss terms, today was a better than usual performance......
Mmm not so sure about that - yeh Torys are a shit show and I would personally meet Guy Fawkes there in a few weeks…
again
Not what I saw.It difficult circumstances she did rather well and as usual Sir Keir missed an open goal blasting over
Not a fan of Truss but her face is better than yours looking at your avatar.
She does absolute certainty with a very straight face. Then, a week later....
And at odds with JH on MondayWhich is odd as only a couple of hours before James Cleverly was saying nothing was certain.
I wouldn’t of thought so as l guess JH may have something to say with it being at odd with his statement on Monday!So this thread is now obsolete.
Yes, she said it is a manifesto committment so of course they will retain it.
They will balance the books and allow OBR oversight, yes the details will need to be worked out but they are a relatively safe pair of hands compared to this shitshow of a government.Mmm not so sure about that - yeh Torys are a shit show and I would personally meet Guy Fawkes there in a few weeks…
…but care to enlighten us all what the full economic policies of Labour are??
You may also want to cc Sir K with them
I was reading that the market shenanigans after the mini budget / fiscal event / joke lost BT pensions £10 Billion, 20% of their fund. So all those who keep excusing their behaviour, blaming the world, the EU and Labour, just remember that. It's not a game, it affects all our incomes.
Just to add the extra borrowing required is one of the reasons that Hunt announced the other day that further spending cuts would be required - effectively 20 billion has just been taken of the government budget and now has to be spent on debt interest instead of services. This is another direct result of the Truss / Kwartang mini-budget.
You have no idea what Labours economic policies are - as they don’t either!!!!
Utter rubbish. The UK state pension is one of the lowest in Europe. It should be at least 33 per cent higher than it is now. Get real or a semblance of a brain!
I'm already resigned to it, unfortunately my employer is saying they want to make thousands of us redundant, you can't win if working until you drop is winning!!!
Well looking at this lot you need to fear Tory governments aswell!!
That isn't actually true, although Tories believe it is. Labour has had to pick up the pieces for Tory policies every single time, if you look at figures, the Tories have left higher debt every time. They have managed to triple our debts this time, so far. The only Governments who have paid back significant amounts of debt are Maggie, by selling off that which we owned, and Blair / Brown, out of growing the economy.
Pesky facts
Starmer making a speech today to the TUC where he will 'set out Labour's plans for the economy' according to Wes Streeting this morning.
Hope he does, just goes to show that he hasn’t already
Not sure that they can give a penny by penny breakdown when they haven't seen the books, at best it will be a broad brush approach.Hope he does, just goes to show that he hasn’t already
Will be interested in some level of detail and not just headlines.
I don’t expect a penny by penny explanation, but i do expect a bit of meat on the bone.
Er, Liam Byrne on leaving office in 2010 ‘sorry there’s no money left’.
I can give you a list of Labours economic policy. 1) spend everything 2) borrow billions more 3) spend that.
But it is not true
Err. It was a joke.
Problem is it wasn’t a joke, there wasn’t anything left.
There was loads. As there always is with governments and central banks.
I am assuming (understandably) this has been postponed - any idea to when?
Starmer speaks and the nationHope he does, just goes to show that he hasn’t already

Of course I know they, or should I say we, are never skint. As you say there’s always money around, it’s a case of good husbandry of it. I should at this point state my political neutrality at this point. I have voted in every election since I was eligible and am now just north of eighty. In all those elections Ihave never voted either Labour or Conservative, I always vote for a person, the one who either is or if a new candidate convinces me he/ she has the interest of constituents at heart. So I am not looking at the current situation through jaundiced eyes one way or the other.
He made the speech but something bigger was happening so it never made the news
