It means old people may think they can keep the heating on. Really dangerous misinformation.

Totally. I suspect a lot of people think this. A colleague of @greentricky did:

I don't think it helped that the detail of the price cap was announced when the Queen died, so it was completely lost in a tidal wave of faux-grief news coverage. But to then double down on it is inexcusable.

Has anyone heard or read if a journalist has asked the ERG if they fully support last Friday's economic announcement?
We need to flush out all the low tax/zero regulation fantasists.

Pissing away the pound

Shirley?

Sir Charles Walker, a Conservative MP, “We’ve made our bed, we’ve got to lie in it,”

Lie in it.
Yep
Until the shit in it becomes unbearable

Who knew Britannia Unchained was a reference to BDSM.

Is it just me or truss and kwamikazi are the new Major and Currie?

The current atmosphere also has the sniff as the opposition to the poll tax

You don’t, best way to find someone, bed them and then share the loan with both income.

I’m in a couple, average between us is about 30k each, it’s still 100% more than any bank would lend us even before all this shit. You can’t buy a 600k house unless you’re in a couple both earning 60k

Or your parents give you £600k

A couple of months ago a minor ERG'er, Marcus Fysh, was interviewed on BBC R4 PM. He wittered on about 'supply side economics'.
Evan Davies was not impressed.
There must be others, minor, low profile members of the ERG, who need to be indelibly identified with last Friday, so they wither in publicity for being supporters of this economic innumeracy.

Imagine. I’m not yet 30 and have very little savings and I’ve still got more money than my parents have ever had

Or you got lucky on a smaller house and moved up the ladder.

Riding home quick conspiracy theory came to me. Yougov bunt the poll a bit to cause tory party meltdown. Zahawi + allies (probs Gove involved) move in to become new pm/cx, reverse the Kwarteng budget and save Britain/the tory Party.

Or get a flat for half, which is still more than a 5 bedroom in Sheffy

cx? We've reached a new low.

And, as Will said, negged for the use of cx.

It will all be over in 2 weeks …

But Sheffield...

Do Labour have to declare the £150bn donation to their election campaign from the Conservative party?

Mea culpa. I now realise that some people may have been offended by some of the terminology in an earlier post of mine. It has been a long, hard day and everyone is working hard to post as well as they can under trying circumstances. I have always been very clear that my first priority is to communicate to the members of the forum with brevity and clarity and will continue to do so to the best of my abilities from this point in time.
I will be taking no further questions.

Fair enough since you believe its the right thing to do.
And any offence caused by your posts is due to offencive posts on many international forums. The current global trend

OBR offered to model the impact of policy decisions in time for the mini budget but were told don't bother
