Recession Looming For The Uk.,,?

[gulliver1]

Making the economy grow was one of the five pledges Sunak promised at the start of this year, but he suffered  another blow as the UK economy begins to shrink. GDP fell by 0.1 per cent according to latest figures.Thirteen years of economic faliure under  The Cons have left working people worse off with higher bills, mortgages and higher prices in the shops.

Hmmm...how od.

Only 24 hours ago, there was a thread in the News section that referred to the reduction in the rate of inflation, with a sly not to the "lefties" (why weren't they talking about it?)

Seems THIS story is kryptonite for "the right".

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset...ad lib to fade.

The problem is-down in England will any other bunch of politicians i.e. Labour politicians do anything different from what the Tory politicians are doing?Same up here in Scotland,will a change of government up here do anything different to what the SNP government is doing at present?These opposition parties can talk the talk,but can they walk the walk?

The cons have had 13 years to walk the walk and failed. So a change is always worth a go.

nicebloke: "The cons have had 13 years to walk the walk and failed. So a change is always worth a go. " - for 9 of those they've either been a coalition or tiny majority, that's basically paralysis. In 2019 we got a decent PM and majority but the pandemic and other crises meant all we did was firefight issues. We have not had any glimpse of how and 80 seat majority with Boris as PM could have been in non unprecidented time. I wonder what state we'd be in if Abacus and Cobstello had won in 2019.
