One heck of a resume.

Good thing they got rid of Boris, though! They are obviously so much better off. It always works out to punch a long-term leader in the balls and kick him off the moving train to be replaced hastily by whoever happens to walk by.

Kim Campbell. Liz Truss.
Danielle Smith?

[vengie]

We just couldn't Truss her.

[schurchill39]

Boris is back baby

[killramos]

So… Liz Truss is basically their Danielle Smith?

Beat me to it

Probably the other way around since Truss comes first.

Smith is sure fumbling a lot 1st week in but nothing as bad as Truss... yet.

[ZenOps]

She was like a one time use nuke. So much damage so little time.

[suntan]

What if this was a long play? The rinos expose themselves so now they can be dealt with and a more right wing faction steps in.

Those 3 seems to have something in common

Yeah... Politicians thinking well ahead and planning.

I don't quite understand the whole issue at hand.

It seems like the markets moreso then Truss tanked the UK economy.

The UK had to devalue the pound anyways if it wanted to globalize it's economy away from daddy EU, having a strong pound makes importing UK goods impossible to be competitive versus goods made elsewhere (I have experience in this matter).

This doesn't seem the same as the 90's debt crisis Canada had, so again, I don't really understand. The basic info I am getting is people "felt" this was a problem, and laid the blame at Truss' feet.

I'm also getting awfully cornfused about how central banks are supposed to be independent from the state, and yet central banks seem to be acting very politically lately.

[ThePenIsMightier]

LoL!

The two pictures aren't even the same book, but I guess that doesn't really matter to the joke. There are enough good jokes out there that this attempt seems weak.

It's on edge, but Truss's policy pushed it over.

You don't tell your lender that you will be making less money when you have trouble servicing current debt.

[ExtraSlow]

So this was a lone gunman situation and she acted alone and without support of her party? Or.....? Because what party will the next PM represent?

I'm so confused.

When sandy vaj is sandy, you might find posting funnier forwarded examples is a suitable salve.

Drain the swamp

Basically, someone thinks she (or her electorates) know how economy works.

Decided to cut taxes and give people energy subsidy, playing both sides without any way to pay for it. Scapegoated the finance minister when the house start burning.

the polls showed if she was leader no way the party would win the next election... so the party kicked her to the curb... kind of like the way DS is going in Alberta...

[max_boost]

Why so fast? Not Kim Campbell fast but fast nonetheless

[Yolobimmer]

Been Watching George Galloway and his MOATs Tv show. Here he predicted she would fly off on her broom before Halloween.

Great show.

The ending of her book:

[ThePenIsMightier]

We just couldn't Truss her.

This Truss doesn't look very stable.

Unstable Truss
Just blows me away, yeah
Unstable Truss, Truss
Forty-five days, yeah
Unstable Truss, Truss, Truss, Truss
She just loves to play
Unstable Truss nothin' more to say

It’d be funny if BoJo coming back lmao

She's basically the biggest LOL in history the of a developed country government. She lost like 500billion for the UK people in like a week.

That is enlightening, I see a bit more clearly now.

It seems like she was too aggressive. Either make cuts, extend the energy subsidies, not both.

Seems like she picked a needless fight, trying to get inflation under control while picking up the pieces from Brexit and the end of the world seem a better priority.

Weird. Conservatives seem to be awesome at missing the easiest shots.

[Yolobimmer]

Nobody throws shade like the Brits can.

"I've hoicked snotty greeners onto the pavement that had better political instincts..."

Government do dumb shits say some, then you figure out that there is even dumber shit out there.

We need stable and consistent governments, especially ones that's heavy in debt.

In a way, Truss war path against BoE is very similar to Poilievre's rant on BoC and embracing crypto (which he backs away from now since crash).

[suntan]

pfft who needs central banks at arms' length anyhow.

[ExtraSlow]

Can we adopt the Icelandic dollar and abolish the BOE?

Don't go pegging those fermented sharks. Very disrespectful.

The bond market almost collapsed. This was a real problem. Hard to run an economy on debt when you can't borrow any money.

[Xtrema]

Sunak is new PM.

Get a new head of lettuce ready.

[DonJuan]

Another BJ crony?

Printing press go brrr?

Sunak lost to Truss for the PM job a couple of months ago.

[suntan]

Paneer on every dinner table and cricket each weekend.

[DonJuan]

Sunak lost to Truss for the PM job a couple of months ago.

I mean he seems to have all the same positions as Boris.

[ExtraSlow]

Thank goodneess they got rid of Boris and Liz, now they can thrive under this new dude who is definitely 100% different.

Pound almost $1.15. Good job new guy?

Came up from 1.07 so it's going in the right direction?

[vengie]

Its certainly no longer being pounded

[Xtrema]

Its certainly no longer being pounded

May be UK should consider colonized by India and their combined economy would surpass Japan as #3 economy in the world.

:D

That's said, Brexit is definitely going well tho, adjusted for inflation UK GDP is smaller than 2008 financial crisis.

[Yolobimmer]

Now we know WHY she resigned.

Kim Dotcom says she messaged the Americans "it's done" one minute after the pipeline was detonated.

US and Brits blew up the pipeline.

It is when it fit your narrative.

But I'm also not surprised if they are dumb enough to do it via iPhone.

[Yolobimmer]

Always. You recall why the government went after him?
