  • “If anybody is going to pay the price for the Conservative Party's defeat, it’s correct that it should be those people.”
    As the Conservative Party wakes up to losses of 251 seats and a landslide Labour victory, Tory peer Daniel Finkelstein says it’s right that Liz Truss and her allies “pay the price” for the crushing defeat.
    Meanwhile, Peter Mandelson congratulates the British public on the ‘ruthless’ deposition of the Conservative government, and Polly Mackenzie celebrates the surge of the smaller parties.

      Blaming Truss for this when she was in power for mere months is just obvious deflection.

    It's the ultimate karma that Truss lost her seat. Being madder than a box of frogs doesn't justify wrecking the economy and causing a lot of financial hardship, and her result shows she hasn't been forgiven. And why would voters want to forgive someone who never said sorry? It'll take days to come up with all the reasons the Tories were decimated, but if Partygate wasn't already the final nail in the Tory coffin, then Truss crashing the economy and wrecking the Tory claim for economic competence certainly was.

      Errr...
      Elementary arithmetic. It put money into the pockets of the rich and also reduced the wealth of the country, which means that poor people would be worse off one way or another.
      Cutting taxes, but also cutting public services that everyone except the very rich depend on, makes workers worse off even though they have more money in their pay packets.
      Doubling mortgage payments for people with mortgages, and therefore ramping up people's rent for people in private rented housing is not exactly putting money in worker's pockets is it?

The essence of the tory party is that they want someone like Liz Truss to be PM if they think they can get away with it. That's why they voted for Truss to become party leader and why Sunak lost, and when he became party leader it was only because there wasn't a party vote.

      In 1993 I attended a conference in London with my politics A Level class. Mandleson was the first speaker. Most of us vaguely knew who he was (this was when John Smith was leader of the Labour Party and Mandleson was out of favour), but he'd lost not just us but the whole room within about one minute of starting to speak. It was quite remarkable to see it happen, because I couldn't pin it down to anything specific that he said, there was just something about him that rubbed everyone up the wrong way (and it wasn't an inherently hostile crowd, based on the reaction to other speakers I'd say it was mostly left and centre-left in its sympathies). Coloured my opinion of him for years, although I should in fairness say that he doesn't annoy me now as he did back then.

So as a pensioner with health issues I am unable to get the treatment I paid for over my working g life. Accommodation is now available only for migrants. I face as an older man hostel comments and have had thousands of pounds stolen and the police do nothing but ask have you insurance.Racism is an attitude that is motivated internally it as nothing to do with the colour of a persons skin. The far right are growing stronger because the political system has been broken. Face it when Palestine supporters cause huge demonstrations in London and are demanding rights for another country go free and those British people who demand the pole-tax be abolished are locked up , and the law changed to punished them …what do you expect. The country is being dissolved into chaos by people who hate our way of life . Claim that they have been robbed by the British and we owe them . I am 70 years I was in the army when I was younger . I no longer matter to the elected government. Their leadership is unbelievable , stupidity seems to pay for them. Talk all you want about what you can say on tv but I believe your playing the viewer not speaking it as it is. The evidence is there the police chase after weak to for an easy conviction.
