Fewer avocados, maybe only one coffee a week. Keep up!

How does someone on £30,000 buy a house in London?

Can’t be Britain, there’s no raw sewage in the water.

Or little boats with pesky foreigners

Is there positive coverage of the current situation in any mainstream media right now?

I would have thought the daily mail is spinning it (but am not going to check)

i just took a look at the daily mail website (so you don't have to!) and, once i got past the massive bit about the queen's death certificate, there is a lot of rage about rising mortgages.

Love it

Yeah, DM is stuck in the Morton's Fork of love for the Tories and cheerleading for house prices going up.

I caught an article by Newsweek (and now I can’t find it. Maybe it was a Schrödinger article) taking the stance that the whole not-budget makes sense
Will try and find it
Not that I’m interested in balance in this instance mind you

When only Greece has higher gilt yields than the UK you know we're in the shit however you spin it.

Top trolling yesterday from the Beeb for putting a clip of Yanis Varoufakis on, offering economic advice to Kwarteng also.

Stealing special monetary operation.

Sadly not one of mine :-D

While we are looking at the special monetary operation: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/sep/29/brexit-freedoms-bill-pesticide-protections?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Removes EU bans on some pesticides...with no plan to replace these by a well researched UK framework.

For...sake.

Kantar have one out today which is... well. Not hugely encouraging.

Westminster voting intention:

LAB: 39% (-1)
CON: 35% (+2)
LDEM: 10% (-4)
GRN: 4% (-)

via @KantarPublic, 22 - 26 Sep

Asa counterpoint there was another one showing a 17% lead out today. The second with that margin.

And a third one - https://twitter.com/RedfieldWilton/status/1575515753230438400

That's quite the disparity. More credence to the notion they're just making it up.

Also, apparently she's back on the regional rounds right now?
