Gordon Brown not only organized the world economy to cope in 2008, the independence of the Bank of England has now saved peoples pensions. He was ejected because his spend and invest mild Keynesianism was deemed to be wrong when interest rates were at an all time low and the economy needed a boost, because spending was out of control, supposedly. This has now been replaced by enormous spending to borrow at high interest rates just to cut taxes after years of hammering those on benefits and public services.

She campaigned on that to around 150,000 Tory Party members, the vast majority of whom are extremely rich, or more than rich enough to personally benefit in a very material way from it. This shouldn't have been up to them, it should have been a General Election. You can't have 150,000 people voting on someone who will have ultimate power over 70million. That should be a mandate from the masses, not the minority in an already massively bias'd group.

Most people don’t quite realise that when the Bank of England prints money to buy government bonds, they are literally increasing inflation to fund a tax cut for the rich. That inflation increase, is a tax on everyone. So, they’re not only decreasing taxes for the rich, they’re increasing taxes (inflation) for everyone else, to give it to the rich. Nice one!

Yes, QE devalues the currency (you know that thing that Truss and her chancellor tanked).
