    Apparently even Nadine thinks Keir should be PM:

    Originally posted by BBC
    Former cabinet minister Nadine Dorries has suggested the prime minister should call an election.

    Dorries said there was "widespread dismay" at Truss for failing to act on plans laid out by Boris Johnson's government.

    "Widespread dismay at the fact that three years of work has effectively been put on hold.

    "No one asked for this. C4 (Channel 4) sale, online safety, BBC licence fee review, all signed off by Cabinet all ready to go, all stopped.

    "If Liz wants a whole new mandate, she must take to the country."

Go figure. That's not me saying that, it;s international markets reating to what they see, just like they did a week ago.
    Rates have been projected to continue climbing for the foreseeable future before she even became PM, so it seems very unlikely they will drop. Though you may mean the panic kneejerk mortgage rates which hopefully will behave that way.

    She doesn't have a plan. She has an end goal. A plan is how you achieve the goal by following a set of steps. It's the lack of plan that is the problem, not the goal. The goal is reasonable but kwiz have shown serious errors of judgement. "they changed their minds" doesn't absolve them... you're not supposed to make these errors in public, you're supposed to have them analysed and scrutinised first. Kwiz blindsided everyone including their own MPs with these gigantic announcements.

    She's NOT the complete opposite. Tell me what her decisive,truthful, well thought out plan, which will turn the country around from what has happened over the last few years.

    But it's a start to see you acknowledge that BoJo was indecisive, lying and dissembling with no clear plan. That's a big admission for you to accept. Next is to understand that it's not just one man. Rees-Mogg, Patel, Braverman, Kwartang - it's obvious to anyone who cares about the United Kingdom that these people clearly do not.
    I didn't say that, you did. Pointless arguing if all you can quote is political polemic with no real foundation in truth.

    Incidentally, if you want dissembling and lying and obfuscation of plans, go back over Starmer's various major outpourings over the last three years or so. He is apparently a rabid left-wing pro-Corbyn, anti-Brexit, pro-Brexit, Blairite centrist who wants open borders and an end to immigration.

    The plan is tulipe, that's not opinion, that's fact. You can agree with the principle of the plan yes, but the implementation has been a horror show.

    I am actually glad all this is happening, we as a country deserve it, the general diptulip population need to learn that decisions have consequences.

    So Brexit voters and red wallers, you voted for all this, it was the only logical conclusion of this whole farce of the past 6 years. You voted for a small state, low tax, deregulated economy and that's exactly what KK and LT are trying to deliver (timing is questionable...). If you don't like the fact that your can't afford your mortgage/food/bills then tough tulip. Either that or you voted because you don't like foreigners (immigration is due to go up massively under Truss). Either way, reap what you sow.

    Enjoy the food banks, 'cos I'm more than alright jack.

    Does it mean we can open a new ltd company as the previous one is closed down. Was there a time scale on that?

    Any chance you could decide what you actually want?

    I think he's made his voting intentions clear just like you have.
