It was just general chat before getting into the updates. But yeah I agree, which is why I pointed out the big rate rises triggered by Tory failures.
Ultimately there is a big gap in seniority, so there was a limit to how far I was going to derail the meeting by slagging off their views. But again interesting as although they live in Kent and I'd expect them to be more right, they are very bright and analytical so wouldn't have expected a knee jerk bias on rates.

On my daily catch up (big bank/ops side) a couple of the older people, clearly aren't relishing an incoming Labour Govt due to taxes for higher earners, school fees, interest rates.
I couldn't keep quiet over interest rates and had to call that out. But I thought it was interesting.
Admittedly most of my peers who share my views are in a different salary bracket from these particular people, but many of them are on high salaries and want the Tories out.
Still regardless of how much you earn I struggle to grasp the idea that you'd view getting rid of the current perpetual shit show as a negative. Guess it shows it's good to get out of your bubble.
