âspecial fiscal operationâ 
Leon wrote this in 2010 when the Tories came to power on the back of the Banking fiasco
Not much has changed
Marina Hyde on sparkling form.
The presence of Rees-Mogg in the key quad of Trussâs ministers really is something, given all his gaffes, given the fact he has never âdeliveredâ in any previous job at all, and given he has to be lowered into a priest hole for the duration of every election campaign the Conservatives actually want to win.
I expected Truss and Kamikwasi to fuck up the economy, just not in one day.
Fucking hell.
Theyâve all shorted sterling just like Smog did
Iâm just glad I booked my accommodation for our trip to Straya and Singapore well in advance. Iâve, by rough calculations, saved ÂŁ300.
Theyâve shorted the entire economy.
What theyâve done is actually shocking.
But due to NOT calling it a budget, it doesnât attract a serious debate *
*I know there was a debate of sorts, but it wasnât about the main features.
Iâm not convinced that when this comes to a vote itâll easily get through. There are a good number of slightly more responsible Sunak supporting Tories who may not have been persuaded.
Even if it doesnât itâs done a lot of damage already.
Indeed. Itâs another level of irresponsibility.
If Truss loses that vote, her time in the job might be shorter than even I expected
It truly is time for heads on sticks along Westminster bridge.
The Tories have actually become a caricature of themselves.
