Seems it’s the same for prime minister. You would never know would you, I mean she’s doing such a fantastic job as an undercover Labour member.

This government is stumbling from one disaster to another and if Labour don’t win the next election after these idiots, we’re doomed.

When history writes the period 2008- 2022 it will make for difficult reading.
People will ask, why was this allowed to happen, how did those in power make so many mistakes.
Well it started with the banking crisis, one of the reasons for this was bankers put their bonuses ahead of financial prudence. They authorised dubious lending to increase their financial footprint which in turn gave them larger bonuses. Well Truss has just undone measures put in place to prevent this by removing bankers bonus limits to four times their annual salary.

We then moved on to the Cameron Osborne show of draconian austerity. It’s now generally accepted that this was the time for fiscal expansion to help grow the economy. The years of austerity meant that growth rates of 2.5% attained each year by Labour fell dramatically to between 0.5-1%.

For years some within the Tory party wanted out of the EU. They argued that leaving the worlds largest economic single market, and its customs union would somehow improve our economy, and give us back control of our borders. They ignored warning from the OBR, the markets, and many financial institutions that this would in fact damage our economy. The OBR and other institutions reckoned that our GDP would fall by between 4-6% (£100-150 billion PA). They ignored warnings that this would create serious problems for Northern Ireland. They ignored warnings that leaving the single market would make trading with our largest and most important trading partners much more difficult. They told us that they needed us more than we needed them, and that we would have more money for our NHS. The following day after the vote the pound fell 10% in one day, the largest one day fall in 31 years. It eventually settled at 15% below its pre brexit level and never recovered. We are now starting to see that these and other issues are damaging our economy.

Then we had covid, I am not going to go into this in any detail other than to say it could and should have been dealt with a lot better.

Then mr Putin decided that the largest country in the world was not large enough. He invaded his neighbour Ukraine.

Then we got Partygate, with all the lies, disrespect for our parliament, and for those who had suffered great loss through covid. We reached a point were our country was so fixated on this, that our government was rendered redundant, bereft of talent, and to all intents and purpose completely ineffective. Eventually Johnson resigned taking us to where we are today.

Well what did we get. We got another leader who ignored warnings given clearly that following her policies if elected would be damaging to our economy. She campaigned on a basis of populist politics. Offering the membership of her party things that they reckoned were required. Her rival Ricci Sunak became agitated during debate, trying to explain that her policies would do much harm, but she plodded on, won the leadership of her party, and by default the office of PM. Well we all know now what unfolded. And this saga has still to fully unfold.

We can look back on this period, and with the benefit of hindsight, and see that mistakes have been made, well we can apart from one issue, brexit. The Tories who got brexit done cannot accept that brexit is damaging our economy. Labour are between a rock and a hard place. They don’t like brexit but due to the fact that more than half of their potential voters voted for it, they have to be careful how the deal with it. So we are in a state of denial. For how long who knows, but one day we have to look back at what happened and ask was it the right decision for our country, that’s if our country still exists as the U.K.
