There have been comments that the Express invented the meeting proposal and Biden had to deliver a fantasy cancellation.

It's always "given his Irish roots", rather than "given our stance is utterly batshit ridiculous", isn't it?

It makes it easier to fix him as the bad guy and Truss as the poor innocent being undone by the forces of evil.

She did the second reading at the funeral today.

She was fucking dire...

Like because I had an Irish grandfather I'm going to trash the post office.

Give people some credit...

An abiding memory to savour the occasion She’s that dope who signed the trade deal that turns over her country’s farmers.

File under "brave". The Monetary Policy Group are meeting this Thursday.

Truss said she did not accept that her economic policies, which include substantial tax cuts, would encourage the Bank of England to raise interest rates. Most economists believes that cutting tax on the scale planned will be inflationary, leading the Bank to raise interest rates by more than otherwise planned. But Truss said she did not accept this.

Not so brave Kwasi is hiding reports under the sofa.

The big boys have their own equivalents of the OBR. I am sure that they will share their wisdom...once/if they return from the wine bar.

Good question for Sir Keir, tmrw? Or too anorak?

Let's face it - the gang now in power are going to make sure they can spend the next two point something years they have left in power until the next election gang raping not only the public purse but also the checks/balances of parliamentary power alongside British economic & social policy, so that they can enrich the fuck out of not only themselves but also their families, friends & party backers. And if they somehow remain in power after the next election, it'll be an even better bonus in gaslighting the electorate.

Banana Monarchy.

We wish a big national government would splurge massive investment on us like at City or Newcastle.

Meanwhile in Norwich.

Liz Truss's Foreign Office spend at Norwich City questioned

Great PR for Norwich City if they returned the tainted money to government’s coffers. Disappointed if Ed Balls and Delia haven’t already thought of that.

She also asked how officials managed to spend £4,333 on "two trips to the hairdresser".

That's disgusting. Let me loose with a pair of scissors and government officials and I'll do it for free.

This is actually defensible in terms of tax simplification. But not at all defensible in terms of the freebies already handed out to this group.

Sky news reporting letters are going in to Graham Brady already. They’re absolutely shitting it that she’s broken the economy.

No point making loads of £££ if you make the £ worthless.
