We need Blackford to ask more probing questions like this. “So Prime Minister, Lorne or square sausage ?” Certainly appears that way, although the wifey being interviewed outside suggested that the talk of binning it was yet another of these deliberate leaks that they wait to gauge the reaction to before actually deciding policy. Sure as shit though, if triple-lock is staying that means Benefits are going to get f**k all. Edited October 19, 2022 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Jesus wept. Watching Nicky Campbell on BBC 2 with an audience from Sunderland. One disabled woman in floods of tears, worried about how she will pay her bills. Costs have risen, income dropped, genuine fear. Worse, at her ESA assessments she was told by an assessor that disabled people should not have kids. Utterly harrowing. "And how will you vote, ma'am?" "Oh, Conservative."ETA: shame the person who made the meme can’t spell properly, ffs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/19/fracking-vote-labour-liz-truss-vote-of-confidence Conservative MPs have been told that a Commons vote tabled by Labour on Wednesday to ban fracking should be regarded as confidence vote in Liz Truss’s government. Dozens of Tory MPs who are opposed to shale gas extraction in their own constituencies will be furious about being put in a difficult position by a prime minister whose authority is already shot. Seven cabinet ministers are among those who have spoken out against fracking, including the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, who said in June that it would create “enormous disruption and environmental damage for little if any economic benefit”. In an attempt to soothe Tory MPs’ concerns, the Guardian understands that Rees-Mogg will assure them that no fracking will proceed without proper local consent. Having been unable to define how residents will be able to reject or approve shale drilling in their area, Rees-Mogg will shunt the issue into the long grass by setting up a public consultation to determine what “local consent” means. Tory MPs are still seething at having to vote against Labour’s motion. One said: “They’ve played a blinder.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have said that her confirming it means thst it won't be happening. His response was as if she hadn't committed to it, or unless his response was deliberately to ignore what she actually said. The biggest crime by Truss is thst she somehow makes Hunt look good!! Don't know about others, but as much as I enjoy the specter of Truss being ripped apart, I have an increasing feeling of fear and dread that this is the best we can possibly front up as a country and we are all suffering as a result. I'm not sure how much more the average person on the street can take anymore. They play politics, we play real life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 She threw Kwarteng under the bus for her policies and now it looks like Hunt is today's victim. If the triple-lock was staying then Hunt had the chance to break the news and get the back slaps. Acting this way Truss maybe hopes for the black slaps. She'll get them but unfortunately for her it'll likely be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were keeping the triple lock it should have been a major policy announcement for them, particularly as Hunt had refused to confirm it in the last 48 hours. Announcing it in answer to a question is just bizarre; did they really think they could get through PMQs without it being raised? Clusterfuckery x 10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
