They should show greater humility for their failings, not attribute blame to others.

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.

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.

Didn’t Hunt campaign for leadership on a corporation tax cut to 15p? Now Neil hails him as a fiscal conservative. It’s incredible how forgetful / selective the media’s memory is.

It's people like Andrew Neil who discredited 'big interviews'. Yes, the tories did their bit - but Neil's dishonesty, self-centered motivations & loyalties, partisan aggression and lack of any self-awareness whatsoever combined with craven attacks on anyone who tried to hold the tories to account... he sought to shape political journalism in his image, and he succeeded. James has the details on where that got us.

I would like to point out something Andrew Neil said in his column in the Daily Mail on Saturday September 24th.- " Anyway there's a chance the markets will soon be pleasantly surprised by how little extra borrowing the Truss-Kwarteng package entails " . {This was the day after the mini-budget }. He got that one right didn't he ???. How credible are these "expert's really ". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I wish commentators would stop saying 'we' did this or that when it is 'them', in this case a minority of Tory Party members and MPs, who 'did' it. My vote has only counted in one election nationally or locally since I started voting after 1974. So a lot of us feel totally excluded from politics; but not its effects, unfortunately. we cannot evade what 'they' keep on doing to us. If I had had my way, North Sea Oil revenues would have been reinvested in the country, not frittered away in tax handouts and the like. A lot of property-price inflation must be a consequence of this, for instance. And I would have made sure that house prices stayed at an affordable level by replacing sold-off social housing with new build social housing. Rent rises should have been linked to CPI or RPI ages ago, and there should never have been mortgage relief for private renters. There is very little in the way of Tory or Labour policy that I have agreed with and I have had no way of punishing either party for its myopia and general short-sightedness or help put things on the right lines. Joining a party would just mean conforming or being side-lined.
