Eventually I can see them struggle to pass key government measures (e.g. budget) and collapse, to which the only answer is a new parliament. Tory MPs know they are a spent force and enough of them are so jaded they won't fight hard to stave off the inevitable. The President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen was therefore understandably prudent in her response to the news. Before the prime minister and chancellor's meeting with the head of the government's independent forecaster on Friday morning, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) released figures showing that rather than the economy being 0.6% larger than in February 2020, a combination of a deeper recession during the pandemic and a weak recovery had left it 0.2% smaller. its weirdly gratifying to me that its more and more a matter of general acceptance that market capitalism is a cult-like ideology and its adherents follow moral and speculative tenets rather than evidence or experience And a third Tory MP who has worked closely with Kwarteng called him "the worst combination of laziness and arrogance". They said that, as Truss could not easily be ousted, the chancellor would have to go. "It just won't work with both of them in the driving seat."...

QuoteVoters will be required to show an approved form of photographic identification before collecting their ballot paper to vote at a polling station for UK Parliamentary elections in Great Britain, at local elections in England, and at Police and Crime Commissioner elections in England and Wales. You know a great deal more about these things than I do but I do think, when looking at the reasons for inflation, you have to include the pandemic price hiking. I'm bloody careful with my shopping, I have to be, and I noticed without any shadow of a doubt a week by week increase in prices at my local shop during the shit. It's left me with a shopping bill that's gone up by around 20% over the period. He has since questioned how much being good at quizzes "relates to anything in what people call 'real life'"...Macron recently played down comments from Truss, who had refused to say if the French leader was a "friend or foe" during a campaign event. He said the UK were friends "whoever its leaders were". Today, other devices use technology to steal the rooster’s work: such as the anemometer, which indicates more information about the wind, such as its speed. There is a certain amount of appeasement that needs to not be scoffed at. We can't just go to the world we are going to create all of our own money and buy all the things we want and you will all just give us the materials and 50% of the food we can't produce. QuoteThe United Kingdom is a Parliamentary democracy, not a Presidential one. Following the general election of December 2019, Members of Parliament of the governing party (the Conservative Party) were elected, such that there is a majority in the House of Commons. This remains the case. A change in the leader of the governing party does not trigger a general election – this has been the case under governments of successive political colours.

QuoteIt's 08:00 in the morning and the second most powerful woman in Westminster is giving one of her first interviews in her new role at the apex of government. Conversely, the south wind is often associated with heat. So where does the rooster point? Although the new generations use this rudimentary instrument less, weathervanes are still very present in the British landscape. He also wrote history books, including a critical book about empire, as well as acquiring a Daily Telegraph column at the height of Blairism in 1997. Among his musings was an entire column on the "nipple count" of FHM magazine, how it was read by ABC1s and not a "lumpen proletariat", and how laddishness had become a "symptom of the success of material culture". Like Russia, China has made little secret of its disdain for Truss’s hawkish approach towards Beijing, and her victory is “likely leading to a ramping up of anti-China rhetoric that will solidify years of rising tensions”, said Nikkei Asia.

The BBC’s Europe editor, Katya Adler, reported that “off the record – European politicians view Truss’s words as a political gaffe, ‘ill-befitting the future leader of one of the world’s most powerful nations’, as a senior EU figure said to me.” BBC News seems determined to show itself as on-side as possible to the new government, probably worried about losing the licence fee. Politicians in eastern Europe, meanwhile, who openly applaud the UK for its tough stance towards the Kremlin, have been “unreservedly warm”, said Adler. Quote from: greencalx on October 18, 2022, 02:38:32 PMThis might piss off the membership but perhaps could be enough to steady the ship with the wider electorate? As noted in the Starmer thread, I don't see him holding onto the protest vote being recorded in the polls for very long, unless he can come up with some decent policy offerings.

French leader Emmanuel Macron responded by tweeting, in English, his congratulations to the new prime minister on Monday night. Some assembly will be required.As our weathervanes are decorative and handmade from heavy-duty iron, they will not respond in the same way as a wind measurement device or a lightweight sheet steel alternative. When installing, please ensure your location does not obstruct air flow and refer to our comprehensive guide on fitting and positioning for more information.

According to its definition, a wind vane is nothing more or less than a metal plate that moves around a vertical axis and is positioned on top of a building or roof to indicate the direction of the wind. Quote from: Blinder Data on October 19, 2022, 03:14:26 PMI'm beginning to think an early election is likely. Of course it would be just like the Tories to somehow cling on until the last possible moment, but even if they agree a new leader within the next few months, they will need to agree on the government's programme. You're right though, probably not a great idea to tell people it's about to be a shitstorm because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yes. Absolutely. Like I said, probably not very clearly, my sympathy is greatly leavened with the knowledge of the suffering she and her friends have intentionally caused for so long Quote from: shoulders on October 17, 2022, 01:09:05 PMThose digesting these events should remember that as awful as Truss and Kwarteng would have been, there's something equally alarming about the fact that elected representatives can select a path then be basically told No, the markets can just upset things to the extent there is no possibility of pursuing it. Let's face it, our little wrought iron rooster that sits proudly atop its roof is not the most accurate: for any weather enthusiast (let alone professional), it's not clear that you can trust a weathervane. Even when in perfect condition, it may not be pointing in the exact direction of the wind, as all weathervanes should in theory. Italy’s Corriere della Sera also compared Truss to Thatcher but described the new leader’s speeches as more “robotic”.

If a wind vane on a roof in England, for example in London, indicates that the wind is coming from the North or the East, it is likely to be cold and bring bad weather. The Guardian reported that the Biden administration is “well aware that Truss is no ideological bedfellow and that she has carefully cultivated connections with the Republicans, but on US foreign policy priorities, confronting and containing China and Russia, there is confidence in Washington that she will be a reliable ally”. Like Russia, China has made little secret of its disdain for Truss’s hawkish approach towards Beijing, and her victory is “likely leading to a ramping up of anti-China rhetoric that will solidify years of rising tensions”, said Nikkei Asia.
