    While I hold Marr and Neil in some regard, I balk at the suggestion that they or the media would have ‘uncovered’ the flaws in Trussonomics if only they had been allowed to interview her. The issues were there to see. Indeed, Sunak (of whom I am no supporter) laid them bare. Marr, Neil and the media failed to report them. They should show greater humility for their failings, not attribute blame to others.

    That there are Conservative who would seriously think of bringing back Boris, after all that has happened, is sheer lunacy and set to cause more problems. It comes from a deluded disconnected bubble that puts factions within a party above the country and reality. It was those factions and their maneuverings that led to Truss and much else before. As Neil says its time for grown up centrist objective people to steady and unite things.

    Having the monarch step in does set a very dangerous precedent (especially when everyone's always been worried about Charles doing that). I think the best way to get a GE would be for the public to protest, and for the strikes to step up a notch to force the Tory MPs to call for one. Maybe the King could give a televised address where he hinted that an election was needed, that might be enough to sway some of the more stubborn traditionalists in the conservatives.

    The mortgage rate increase doesn’t just impact the home owners, my rent has just gone up because my landlord’s mortgage has gone up. With all of the other increased expenses and because I’m self employed, I’m on the verge of real financial hardship if this trend continues. This country is a mess and instead of doing the Nobel thing of taking pay cuts/ bonus cuts while the country is in crisis, our decision makers are expecting the constituents to bail them out, once more. As the saying goes ‘every little helps’ but it seems to apply only to the working and middle classes, and how much money they can squeeze out of us. Since 2020 this country and it’s inhabitants have had to carry the heavy burden of consequences brought around by the actions of a clueless party. We are strained, we cannot keep bailing you out.
