their plan is to steal all the assets and then lease/rent them back to us. loads of houses will be repossessed soon. people cant afford mortgages. so landlords snap them up cheap and rent back at more than your mortgage was.
It took them too long to realise that. At the expense of others though. Maybe they should have realised us in Scotland were not just saying that for the sake of it. We have genuinely detested them for years and tried to tell people.
I don’t feel confident that Labour could do any better, though. I’ve been a life-long Tory voter, but from Corbyn to Starmer I feel the party has lost its anchor.
The Government telling that the financial problems are within the BoE's remit is like telling the fire department that they are responsible for ensuring a house doesn't catch on fire when they've left the stove on ...
I'm watching from afar and Truss reminds me of one of those coppers on The Bill. Slightly dimwitted and doesn't really have her eye on the job. Actually that's defaming a whole bunch of fictional characters. They were actually way more competent.
He has and still is making a mint,,as a.Blair buddy,, Remain voting,, SNP indi voting Scot, of the backs of UK licence fee and taxpayers..Just to not be assuming,,someone should ask him ,did he vote Remain and Labour,,is he Scottish ,working in England and does he own a home in Scotland,,as so many S Scottish remainers living and working in England do?

@@Grahamponting that word is thrown around ridiculously these days. Softer capitalism is not socialism. Denmark is the number one country for new businesses but everyone calls them socialist too
@@zakhobbsmusic I think you'll find he's not known as Red Andy for nothing. I agree with you re Scandinavian countries though, I've never thought of them as Socialist at all. Their success is down to a completely different culture, where one's tax returns are a matter of public record, the tax you pay thus becomes something to be proud of, not how much you can avoid.
Marr is correct, there are substantial energy savings to be made in most households and a simple government information advert would be common sense. I went around every electrical appliance in my house and switched them on and off and checked their usage while on standby and when in use. The biggest standby parasite was my microwave which I used to leave on 24/7. It used 4p an hour on standby! It may not seem much but left on all year now costs a staggering £350, ON STANDBY! I have a fluorescent light that uses 10p an hour that I used to switch on when it got dark and leave on all evening, I changed to led lights and they barely register. So I leave them off when not in use and I'm saving £40 a month as a result. The government should do a nuts and bolts testing of standby costs and put out a public info advert. It would save the population tens of millions a year.
The problem with saving energy as a way to save money is that the price will always rise. If private companies see less use and hence less profit they will have to increase prices to maintain shareholder payouts. Its an obvious vicious circle.
That’s why I’m using as much as I am and refusing to pay. I haven’t got the money so what can they do? If they throw me in jail I get free rent, food and heating and electricity, I’ll save a fortune.
Its a vicious circle if you sell your national resources to another country. Otherwise not! Your probably too young to remember nationalized utilities!
A circle can be drawn with an infinite number of straight lines. The Tories, on the other hand, are trying to draw a straight line with an infinite number of circles.
Andrew Marr is amazing to watch - all the television experience coupled with his radio show on LBC, means he's fast paced, concise, educated, doesn't pull his punches and provides the online video viewers of LBC with a fantastic viewing experience!
The BoE can't really do much to protect the economy when the government doesn't consult with economic experts about the effects of their planned economic policy. Economics is as much about demonstrating a logical philosophy and understanding the psychology of actors in the system as it is managing numbers. Even if all the numbers make sense (which I doubt in this case) it's all a moot point if you fail to present the plan in a comprehensive and reassuring manner. Suddenly dropping ideologically radical plans on the system with no consultation is the exact opposite.
It's all about confidence. Really, it's a business plan but for the country at large. Obviously, Truss didn't bother to learn all that at Cambridge for her BA in Economics or whatever it was.
It was clear before her appointment and altogether now in plain sight Liz Truss is just out of her depth. No need to wait to see if things will improve. They will not. Liz Truss will not even realise there is a problem.
So basically Conservatives blaming the Bank of England for their problems now, when will the stand up and at least say sorry for their utter incompetence rather than blaming anyone else ... The answer of course is never, they are more than happy to take their wages and expenses from the tax payer so long as they never have to accept responsibility for their actions
They’re going to tell us how to use energy more efficiently! I’m sitting in the house with the lights of, all electronic device switched off apart from essential ones, have the heating cut to the bone… how much more ‘efficient’ can I get?
Everyone improves when they leave the BBC from a journalistic perspective. It’s a straitjacket on talent under the guise of “impartiality” which is actually “don’t make the government look bad”.
The Real problem here is the quality of MPs from all parties is incredibly poor most have an overinflated opinion of their own ability and importance and are only interested in keeping their snout in the money pit that is parliament.. Having said that you couldn't get much worse than Truss

We're all for tax cuts but you need to improve everyone's pay first because the huge number of companies employees having to make their wages up through benefits is a deadly scar on the taxation and welfare system. It's not as though companies aren't making huge profits, they can certainly afford to increase wages tremendously.
The people of England gave the Tories an overwhelming mandate to do as they liked.The people of England are to blame for these continuing disasters because they knew or should have known the individuals they elected and the Brexit lies they spewed from every orifice that the English electorate swallowd wholeheartedly.
