Given today's BoE prediction of a two-year recession and unemployment levels, I think that there is zero chance of the Tories calling a general election before 2024.

It's going to be interesting, that's for sure. Now that Sunak and Hunt are so wary of doing anything to spook the bond market, they are likely to feel compelled to pursue policy that they can try and explain as being "economically competent". That means the country is going to experience prolonged interest rate rises, tax rises, and spending cuts.

Given their prediction of a two year recession, there’s going to be a much, much longer recession.

The National debt when the Conservatives took over was £845bn, today it is £2,600bn they have tripled debt to provide austerity and death.

Some of the modelling for the UK economy over the next few years makes for unbelievably bleak reading. We're looking at the worst economic performance of any developed nation in the world up until 2025, by which point we will be the only developed country expected to have an economy smaller than it was in 2019. People are going to be simultaneously have massive tax rises alongside real term pay cuts. Millions more going into the 40% tax band.

It's mind bogglingly grim stuff and coming off the back of 12 years of Tory government, a terrible indictment of how useless these c*nts are.

Some of the analysis and forecasts we're getting is just beyond anything I ever thought we'd be facing. Most people still don't get how devastating the next few years will be. We can expect even more extremism.

Useless for whom? They've feathered their own beds nicely over the last 12 years and now it's the job of everyone else to pick up the pieces

Pay not expected to get back to 2008 levels until 2027. We are going to be getting poorer in so many ways - much higher taxes, less jobs, real terms pay cuts, worse public services. And a lot of formerly 'fine' middle class types suddenly having a massive retraction in their spending power.

Once you take into account schools and NHS spending is protected, they are going to have to shred all other departments except maybe defence.

You are going to see a brain drain soon. Why would skilled young people stay when their earning potential is that much lower than in comparable countries? We are going to end up significantly poorer than other northern European countries or wider Anglosphere.

I cannot believe the Boards top sociopoliticaleconometrics commentator has been blind sided and found to be asleep at the wheel.

Yet more Tory Sleaze

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-63706016

An MP breached Parliament's code of conduct over a £150,000 loan from a Russian-born businessman, a watchdog has ruled.

David Warburton failed to declare a loan given to him by Roman Joukovski via an off-shore trust while lobbying for the businessman.

He will avoid punishment after apologising for breaking the rules.

Mr Warburton lost the Conservative party whip in April after he was accused of sexual misconduct.

He previously told the BBC he had done nothing wrong.

An investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards found Mr Warburton received the loan from a foundation based in the Seychelles linked to Mr Joukovski on August 2017.

The loan was supplied to help Mr Warburton buy a £1.2m property which he planned to turn into an Airbnb. Mr Warburton said the money was a commercial loan provided on "non-preferential terms", which he paid back by March 2022.

Mr Warburton told the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Kathryn Stone, that he did not register the loan at the time because it was "entirely unconnected with either my role as an MP or any parliamentary activities".

The loan "in no way" ever "influenced my words or actions as a Member" he added in his submission to the commissioner.

After taking the loan, Mr Warburton wrote to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), urging the regulator to reconsider its assessment of Mr Joukovski after refusing to certify him as a fit or proper person.

Ms Stone said she was satisfied the loan had "not influenced" Mr Warburton words or actions as an MP - but ruled that it should still have been declared in the register of members' interests.

She found there had been two breaches of the MPs Code of Conduct. But the breaches were rectified after Mr Warburton wrote to the commissioner "acknowledging and apologising for the breach", Ms Stone ruled.

He has also agreed to add the loan to the MPs Register of Financial Interests.

Mr Warburton, who is 57, was first elected as the MP for Somerton and Frome in 2015.
