Dorothy, I think it beggars belief as to what had gone on.
If people think that replacing Liz Truss with a Labour Government will make things alright again, well they are deluded.
Many of her problems were not of her making at all….but Mainstream media will not tell you that.
The falling value of sterling came at a time when the US increased their interest rates.
It was not reported that this caused a number of currencies to lose ground….the Euro and the Yen(to name just two) fell but this was never mentioned.

Many of the problems were magnified by the media…who got into a feeding frenzy.
When Jeremy Hunt was parachuted into the chancellor position the media reported that the ‘pound surged’…..Really….how is the pond being at one dollar thirteen, and going to one dollar thirteen(so no change at all) ‘a surge’.
It looks like those who pull the strings are bringing into government those back stabbing remainder voting, left leaning, untrustworthy politicians that we should be glad to be rid of.
The removal of BJ was not democratic, it was a coup.
There were many people who said that the Tory party would regret this…..and I think they were right.
We have had a zombie government of inaction while they chose another leader (Sunak being the choice of the Mandarins in Westminster and when he was rejected they did not like the candidate and engineered her unseating).

Dorothy, I despair of the situation, because it is a sorry state that allows government policy to be directed by the media.

We have been living in a fools paradise of low interest rates for many years. Global,issues have made situations very difficult for many countries…Ukraine, the energy crisis, ridiculous net zero emission policies….oh I could go on, but….well I won’t
I am sure that Liz Truss is enjoying a better nights sleep for no longer having to deal with the Tory back stabbers.
