Death Duke 100 Posted September 7, 2022 Judging by her first PMQs, she won’t last 5 minutes. Absolute dire performance so far with no plans, vision or leadership. Can things get more bleak? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,451 Posted September 7, 2022 She said she’d take “immediate action” six times, so that’s all good. She also, in response to Theresa May’s question about female leaders, attempted to mock Labour leaders all being from North London, and I for one am delighted; my ears still ring with the cockney accents of Kinnock, Brown etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,534 Posted September 8, 2022 Energy bill cap at £2500 (so circa £600 above what folk have already been struggling with), no clear word on how it will be paid for, though not by taxation so presumably by cuts or heavy borrowing. I have my doubts this is the vote winner Crem promised us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have my doubts this is the vote winner Crem promised us. So many still under enormous financial pressure, meanwhile £170bn of EXCESS profits for energy companies is being protected, and we taxpayers will be paying this off for a double digit number of years. Couldn’t agree more; this is no vote winner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
