Liberal Democrats call for general election. :lol:
It's like being mauled by a dead sheep. :roll:
I swear Vince Cable was the most convincing of LibDem leaders. He was ranting about the credit crunch before it happened and seemed the most practical about the crap that has been surrounding us.
If only we could ditch idealogy the LibDems would romp to power.
And then screw it up, just like the Tories and Labour.

That's really funny and tragic.
As I said Truss needs to come up with something dazzling on Thursday, otherwise we're back in the BJ negatvie downward spiral.

That makes sense. The Tories are going to lose a lot of seats whenever an election takes place and the LibDems what their slice of the pie. :D

I've watched Jonathan Pie since before lockdown. He's very good, and very sweary :)

It's just as well we don't have prime ministerial pardons over here. :D

They call for one every week, seems to be there go to line with nothing else to say and just to let people know they are still here

What's funny is they've spent the last 6 weeks complaining the Torys haven't made any decisions and left people scared of how they'll pay there bills this winter and now want to shut down parliament for another 8 weeks or so for a GE :roll:

I don't know what the answer is though. Goverment debt is sky high already after the pandemic and I guess Putin knew that and played his ace.
I think the only thing they can do is borrow big to freeze the prices for at least 12mths and ring fence that and hope the rates remain low enough and manageable that it can be flattened out and repaid back over the next 10-20 years and at some point passing a chunk of it off to the big winners like BP and Shell

And as she's an anti-monarchist the meeting at Balmoral could be.... er frosty. Although Our Queer Old Dean will handle it impeccably, I'm sure.
Hasn't she said she is now in favour of the monarchy and her comments when a LD activist where just her views when she was younger which see now changed?

Yes, I did in 2012 or there abouts, and successfully denied a Tory from Parliament. :D

As I said the conversation with Her Majesty will be interesting. :-)

Not quite the same as a pardon, Johnson can still go to prison for his crimes that we've yet to hear about. We saw how revolted people were when Johnson tried to change the rules to protect his mate. Truss is on shakey ground with a GE coming up, her ratings will plummet with her inevitable blunders so protecting her disgraced predecessor won't be a good start.

Surely 8 weeks of chaos is better than 2 years of it. :)
