Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
More ominous polling news for the Conservatives this time in the Red Wall constituencies.
https://redfieldandwiltonstrategies....-october-2022/
Quote:
Our latest Red Wall poll finds Labour leading the Conservatives by 38%, a staggering twenty-three points more than in our previous poll two weeks ago, and the largest lead ever achieved by any party in our Red Wall polling. Altogether, the results of our poll (with changes from 19-20 September) are as follows:
Labour 61% (+12)
Conservative 23% (-11)
Reform UK 3% (-4)
Liberal Democrat 7% (+2)
Green 4% (–)
Plaid Cymru 1% (+1)
Other 1% (–)

You're all wrong: I'll rule as Chairman Yuy and you'll all do what you're told.

Quote:
“When this party came into government we were met with the full force of Labour’s economic incompetence: no money left; taxes raised; record unemployment.”
KWASI KWARTENG MP, 3 OCTOBER 2022.
|
https://fullfact.org/economy/Kwarten...-unemployment/
Quote:
In his speech at the Conservative party conference, chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng said that the Conservatives entered government at a time of “record unemployment”.
This is not correct. Unemployment was increasing when Labour left government in 2010, but it did not reach record levels.
The highest level of unemployment since comparable records began in 1971 was recorded in 1984, when the UK unemployment rate peaked at 11.9%, or 3.278 million people aged 16+, in the three months to May. During this period, Margaret Thatcher (Conservative) was prime minister.
The unemployment rate fell during the late 1980s before increasing in the early 1990s, peaking again at 10.7% in the winter of 1992/93, with 3.023 million people unemployed. During this period, Sir John Major (Conservative) was prime minister.
By comparison, when Labour left government in May 2010 the unemployment rate stood at 7.9%—four percentage points lower than the record level— with 2.508 million people unemployed. It then rose to 8.5% in 2011, before falling to near-record lows, and at the start of this summer was recorded at 3.6%.

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
It’s almost like his attention to detail is inadequate.
No money left is a good line considering the levels of debt inherited (in 1997) and resulting interest payments spaffed up the wall from 1997-2010.

Not whataboutery but just saying that it's the same across parties.

Not entirely true, we (hopefully) all agree we could do better.
