Re: mini budget
I have to agree . Even Sunak told Liz Truss what would happen but she ploughed on regardless.BoniO wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 3:06 pmShe couldn't do any worse.TRUMP Plumbing wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 3:01 pm It's ok, Rachael Reeves is going to fly in to save us all.

Re: mini budget
Surely it's just not possible for either Truss or Kwarteng to survive this. Their recklessness nearly wiped out many peoples pensions.

Feels like our lives can all change on the whim of some bankers or useless politicians.

Re: mini budget
And how it's always been.
I guess it's good that some more people are wising up, even if it's taken them being at risk to cause this enlightenment.

Re: mini budget
Apparently, according to this guy, more than any other politician, Truss has been in touch with his lot the most.

No, but she has decided to take the train up to the conference in Birmingham on Saturday. Shouldn't be problem getting one, should it?

Of course. However, of late, the stupidity and self-serving nature of our political “leaders” has been more evident that at any time in my lifetime.TRUMP Plumbing wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 4:40 pm And how it's always been.

Re: mini budget
Here is one way of seeing the scale of the markets rout that was close to wiping out pension funds. At start of year, 40-year gilt (government bond) with a 0.5% coupon was worth 85p. This morning it was trading at 25p and even after Bank of England intervention it's 34p.
