My choice would have been Priti Patel but I suspect she is biding her time in taking on the impossible job

Really? So you genuinely think a shit scared and skint population will rush out and spend money that they don't have?Well you were talking bollocks so I am sure you will understand why I called you derek
I understand that millions are struggling but you might be surprised how many people are completely unaffected by £2 a litre, energy And food prices spiralling. These are the people - surplus disposable income and savings/reserves - that need to be encouraged to spend and tax increases do not do that. Same for businesses…increasing taxes suppress investment as well as putting the weaker out of business, which doesn’t help anyone. The paradox is by encouraging these things those lower down the food chain see ‘money going to money’ which is understandable. In some technical ways a bit of rampant inflation is actually a good thing as it effectively reduces the real value of mortgages, unfortunately wage increases inevitably lag behind.
All these things are part of operating a capitalist economy - it sure ain’t perfect but it’s better than the options.
It was a bit of humour, sorry if you didn’t take it that way.
Sorry completely missed that. Crap day. Culminated in you calling me Derek! My bad.
I'm going to take a risk here and agree with the Beaker
My recollection is that in the past inflation around 5% to 7% really didn't cause much of a problem.
Wages always lag a bit behind and that gap left some wiggle room.
Businesses could see there was a benefit to investing earlier as it would cost more later etc.
With low static inflation rates there's little movement going on .

Naughty step. Off you go.I'm going to take a risk here and agree with the Beaker
With the results of the latest ballot out it looks like Rishi is going to win.
I'm sure his performance through covid is seen as more "professional" than the PM and he gets the credit for the business/job support scheme

I thought you were supposed to be on the naughty step.
Why annoy the whole world with a leadership debate?
It's not as if the general public have any say in it.
If they want the whole Conservative Party invloved then do their own podcast.
Just leave them all to fight it out and let us know the result when it's over. I suppose they could do it as a cage fight and televise that
