The Tories have no answer to the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’

The Tories  have no answer to the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Now as a last resort they have turned to taxation as their preferred ( and only available) method of attempting to deal with the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Taxation  and more taxation  is their response to dealing with the gap in public finances largely  caused by their election of an inept leader which they imposed on the Country and for which we all must now pay for her mistakes. The Tories  are now the party of high taxation because  they haven’t  anything else in their locker. For the last 12 years in Government  they have been forced to rely on borrowing to keep taxation  down. Now in the time of crisis  all their ineptitude is showing. The Tories  have no other strategy available  to them besides taxation. They have nothing that generates any substantial income for them because  they have sold it all off. This is the legacy  of Thatcherism. Sell off all your assets and by so doing the only income you will be left with is through taxation. Thatcherism has caused Britain  to become bankrupt.

There may be dangers ahead for the Labour Party and they should not become complacent

Kier Starmer’s  Labour Party needcto be aware that the job is not done yet and there is still a long way to go. Yes the Tories  have certainly  given them a good head start but success is not assured. Here are the things that the Labour  Party must get in order to be assured of winning the next General Election. They should not rely on the Tories  to do it all for them.

How to tackle the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’

How to tackle the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. Well the first obstacle is to remove the Tory Government because  they are not equipped, ethically  or ideologically, to deal effectively  with the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’. In fact many of their policies have contributed to this situation. The legacy  of Thatcherism is also a contributory factor. The current  situation  of having our Energy and other utilities  in the private sector is a major factor contributing to the high levels of Inflation that we are seeing. These Energy  Providers  have just got increasingly  greedy and any attempts  to moderate this by Tory  Government  Policies has been ineffectual.

Don’t use Google as your search engine

Were you aware that Google is suppressing left wing viewpoints like those contained on this site? Did you know that Google is withholding search results by curtailing searches? Did you know that Google has an agenda to manage and filter search results based on nothing other than political message content? Or so it seems. So has Google got political and impartial? Well it would seem so. What started out as a pretty cool idea for a search engine has sold itself out to big business and big bucks. Google is no longer impartial and is filtering out leftwing viewpoints.

No detail Mordaunt: vague on everything other than wanting a job

Penny Mordaunt will basically  do anything for a job. She supported Liz Truss’s ideas to get in her cabinet when her own chances of becoming PM slipped away. Now she’s  having another go but her ideas about what she would and wouldn’t  do if she got the job remain extremely vague which basically  amounts to having no idea at all. So all in all what we do know about Penny Mordaunt is that she is ambitious and that’s  about it. She also changes her track to suit the moment and to best serve her own purpose  and ambition. We also know nothing about what her policies are because it seems that they are basically  made up on the hoof. Strikingly similar to Liz Tuss  who just couldn’t  fill in the details and hid from real scrutiny: Mordaunt  would be equally  disastrous  as the Prime Minister. Surely by now she should recognise the error of such ways given the quick demise and shining example that Liz Truss gave as a way in which to not do things. However it seems not to be the case. Mordaunt  remains vague and non-committal and as such unconvincing.

The Conservative Clown Show goes on and on

The Conservative  Clown Show goes on and on and just keeps giving. The Conservatives  have managed to turn both politics and economics into a standing joke. Forget ‘Live at the Apollo’ and just watch the news. Now we hear that their main Clown is to rejoin the Show. The bungling buffoon is coming back so the plot gets even more ridiculous. I have previously  highlighted the lack of talent in the Conservative  Party and this has been confirmed  by recent events. They just can’t  think of anyone except to be their leader except a failed Prime Minister. Poor Rishi Sunak who appears to the only one with an ounce of talent  and credibility. Sunak was the main man behind Boris Johnson and whilst Johnson was donning the hard hats and pretending to be a working class person it was Sunak who steered the ship economically. Sunak was the sensible one whilst Boris was the Clown performing for the media. Johnson has little grasp on economics and even less grasp on the  truth. Without Sunak Johnson was nothing but a buffoon. Johnson is incapable  of the serious  stuff. Johnson will not be capable of steering a course through the ‘Cost of Living Crisis’.

Johnson has not got things done: Brexit remains unfinished and ‘Levelling up’ was a lie to obtain power

Let’s  think about what Boris Johnson has not finished. Brexit remains undone and as a result Northern Ireland has no functioning  government because of questions  that remain unfinished regarding the Northern  Ireland  protocol and the questions  remaining about the transfer of goods without a hard border with the rest of Ireland. There had also been no evidence of ‘Levelling Up’. As I have said this was always  just a slogan and attempt to derail real Socialist values. It was an attempt to steal traditional  Labour Party votes and a blatant attempt  to mislead by lying to voters with empty promises.

Prime Minister Liz Truss’s mistakes have cost approximately £30bn for which she is sorry

Prime Minister Liz Truss’s mistakes have cost approximately  £30bn for which she is sorry: but is that good enough? Well no it’s frankly not. It is incompetence and when people are incompetent they must go. She looks beleaguered and bereft of any ideas. She has to go now.

Is saying sorry enough?

Liz Truss is incompetent and not up to the job. She is profoundly  sorry that her personal mistakes and misjudgements have cost the UK economy approximately £30bn and mortgage payers individually additional  hundreds of pounds extra each month. However she is not personally culpable  alone. She was elected by the Conservative  Party who believed in her fantasy economics and elected her to be their leader and consequently the country’s  Prime Minister.  So this also shows poor judgement  by the whole Conservative  Party  who are also responsible  for this fiasco. If this was really the best candidate that they could muster then they really are bereft of any kind of political  talent at all. If Truss has to go then so to do the Tories  need to go in the national interest.

Consiser this

If I had cost my employer £30bn do you really believe that I would still be in that job role? Of course not. Will sorry go far enough to cover a £30 bn loss to the economy and cover the increased personal costs to people’s mortgages? If so then sorry and forgiveness goes a long way indeed.  Trusenomics is dead. Liz Truss showed poor judgement and now lacks any credibility as Prime Minister. It’s  certainly  no longer in the national interest to have this failed and incompetent individual  as Prime Minister. She lacks credibility, authority and insight: she must go.

The Bank of England and the Government at loggerheads

The Bank of England and Liz Truss’s government are at loggerheads. Both seem to be working  against each other and seem to be opponents. Meanwhile despite this Liz Tuss’s government plays a risky game with people’s pensions and livelihoods. Liz Truss continues to put pensions at risk and puts homeowners  in a vulnerable  position with their mortgages. This is politics playing  with people’s lives. Her actions only compound the ‘Cost of Living Crisis ‘ and make it worse for most people. This is the most irresponsible government that has been seen. This government  and Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng in particular continue to demonstrate lack of insight  and incompetence. The Tories  need to go now.  The selection  of a bunch of amateurs  to steer the country demonstrates and reinforces what I have said previously, that the Tories lack any talent in their ranks and are bereft of real insights into ways in which to tackle the current issues of ‘Inflation’ and ‘The Cost of Living Crisis’.

Murdering Russians are a disgrace: time to arm the Ukraine with longer range missiles?

Another example of the Russians  murdering innocent citizens in the most cowardly  fashion. Putin should be classed as a war criminal who needs to be hunted down. Russia  is a disgrace to the planet. Russia  have shown that their armies are poor when it comes to the battlefield so instead it targets civilians in the most cowardly  manner. This is Putin and his general’s style. The time has come to arm the Ukraine with the means to attack Russia with longer range missiles to completely  destroy  Putin’s bridge and attack Rusdia itself.

Starmer threatens the UK Energy Market suggesting a Publicly Owned Energy Provider

Sir Kier Starmer sent a strong message to the UK Energy Providers  with an underlying threat made at the Labour Party Conference yesterday. If Labour gets elected it will set up a new publicly owned Energy Provider that will be in direct competition  with the current UK Energy Providers. However it will be run for the benefit of the public and not as a privatised enterprise.  This was initially  my idea that I provided to the Labour Party on 19th October 2017. See my post http://havemysay.me.uk/competition-is-the-way-forward-for-the-public-ownership-of-gas-and-electricity-in-britain
