@Geri It appears many don’t doubt that the Conservatives are a fully loaded fascist party. Only unlike Labour, they are feverishly trying to rebrand and create their own MAGAts! #clownshowcult #Bojo #Truss #Farage #TripleWhammy #OligarchsBrexitEcocide #TheFederation #RepublicsSovereignty
Still having a chip on her shoulder since her short dreadful record as PM, Liz Truss is to launch a social network, being in similar vain to Trump's own. I don't see it lasting even 49 days... https://mindsconnected.tech/index.php?showtopic=1098&view=getnewpost #liztruss #Truss #socialmedia #truthsocial #freedomofspeech #internet #uk
The #IMF will probably need to be put on standby if #Trump stays in power for his term. The #USA runs huge trade and fisal deficits, and can only do this if markets trust the administration. This has now gone and a moron premium has been added to the cost of #US debt. Add to that the future $5n of unfunded tax cuts and the #US potentially faces a far worse second #truss moment. I am a tiny investor but I would not buy #US bonds at anything less than a coupon of 8%.
I am very surprised that the people of the #USA are shocked by the #Trump #tariffs. He said he would do that! He was perfectly clear on that point. I may not agree with them, but this was entirely self inflicted and the consequences to anyone with even a basic understanding of economics were also obvious. Those of us who lived through #Truss know the effect of dogma.
#CraigMurray | Starmer’s Thatcherite Economics
" If the aim was actually to reduce the fiscal deficit, taxing those who have money would be far more sensible than taking money from those who do not.
But actually that is not the object at all. The object is to convince the neoliberal finance system that this is a safely neoliberal government, willing to hurt the poor and leave the wealthy untouched."

Watching from afar it is clear that the American people wanted to inflict Trumponomics on themselves. Even #Bezos #Musk and #Zuckerberg are cheer leaders. I watched my own country implode under #Truss with many seeing their pensions destroyed so that the Institute for Economic Affairs could test some of its policies which were made up on a drunken night out on the people. So should we rename the #US president? If so here are some suggestions.
@dangillmor "the top 10% of American households now account for around half of all consumer spending. They also own a lot of stocks, and if Wall Street is heading south, they are more likely to tighten their belts." #Trump may be facing his #Truss moment as #recession bites
