Unfortunately, if you wanted to attract the kind of people who would really be great Members of Parliament and run the country well we would need one of the following things to happen: 1) Pay them wages more equivalent to what they could get in the private sector. Or 2) require experience at lower levels of government in order to stand as a candidate for Parliament. For me, number 2 is the more viable but if you really want to have the best minds running the country, elected officials at all levels of government need to be paid more, as do civil servants. Why would you become an MP making 100,000 per year when you could make ten or twenty times that in the private sector? Still, I wouldn't want to pay this lot of MPs, especially the Tory ones, 500,000 per year...

The problem, from a propaganda perspective, is that Truss' policies are basically an impossible sell. Things like Brexit, you could translate it in ways that sound appealing to the average voter. But how do you sell "rich people will get richer and in some way that's going to help you" to the person in the streets who's having to decide between bills and food? You can't. She's spent so long in the wealthy Tory safe space that she has no clue how real people think.

@Tom records of GNP/GDP began only in 1930-something - so not very long really. I recommend Doughnut Economics if you want to hear another view and a resounding critique of the concept of GDP and what it measures. Engrossing the economy in financial terms has little or nothing to do with well-being and sustainability.

The other thing people miss is how much growth has been driven by tech. If deregulation and a baby boom pushed the growth phenomenon to the point of a heart attack. Mobile internet and cloud computing have been the only thing keeping it moving by draggings its coffin to the final resting place. Tech improvement, as it exists today, has been stagnating since the late 2010s. There is no low-hanging fruit left at least not in the short term. Meanwhile, all the promising UK tech darlings of the last 25 years have moved to the States. ARM is just the last of the great British tech companys to be launching their IPO in New York instead of London, due to political turmoil.

Whenever she delivers a speech, turn the volume off and play some 80s electro and watch her hands. She has def mastered the robot. Or possibly its some kind of performative dance where she's holding an invisible beach ball. It's the only way I can see her speak without wanting to put my foot through the telly.

“She strives off enemies to fight. And in a way, that’s kind of one of the stories of modern conservatism: it’s this idea of ‘the enemy without,’ ‘the enemy within,’ finding different enemies to slay.” Goodness, that’s an incredibly accurate synopsis of the political landscape worldwide.

What no-one has mentioned is that when they say “if we grow the pie there is more to share” that means when you cut a wedge from that pie, the thick end is relatively much bigger than the thin end before it was grown but the thin end is the same i.e. lets grow the pie so the rich get much richer…..

This isn’t sensible. The Tories are supposed to be for fiscal responsibility but that is anti-growth. Labour is for more social spending and potentially bigger budgets which is pro-growth. Fiscal stimulus to promote growth is primarily done through increased government spending (labour) or through reducing government income, cutting taxes (Tory). So the issue isn’t growth, it’s how you achieve it; entitlement payments for the poor (bottom up) or tax cuts for the higher earners (top down).

Of course Truss' policies have the opposite effect to what she says she is aiming for. Pretty much everyone with any qualifications to understand could have told you that was inevitable (and did, if asked); though no one expected the policies to be introduced to stupidly, bringing on massive negative results immediately. But basically Truss and Kwarteng are espousing totally discredited economic theory. They are defying reality... Truss is commanding Kwarteng, like King Canute, to control the waves and alter the tides. Of course, to suppose that they are lunatics disconnected from reality is the charitable interpretation. A less charitable interpretation might be that they are just utterly corrupt, destroying the country deliberately to profit their rich friends, and ultimately themselves.

if one compares the performance of Sterling over the past fortnight to the timing of press releases and interviews by the lizard and her chancellor there is a direcet correlation betweeen them speaking and £ struggling... but more the pattern holds that they hide away from scurtiny whilst this is happening and only come out to do more damge when £ begins to recover. Not only are they actively destroying the value of the nation (it's assests as well as currency), they seem to be acting to maintain that destruction. Observing this for a few days it seemed fantastical. Now, having watched them doing it yet again today? It's becoming much more difficult to argue that it isn't purposeful.
