Is there some nuance or debate within the tory movement that I am not seeing? What is the alternative or internal opposition platform besides tax cut harder and bigger?

truss said it out loud. his budgets would have mimicked hers but he telegraphed during the campaign that he'd only do tax cuts on the rich after inflation was under control, which is more mainstream and possibly interventionist than truss. in the long-term they'd have govered similarly, just with a different image. very possible he wouldn't have rocked the boat so much and therefore the BoE intervention to stave off pension runs wouldn't have happened as immediately as with truss but that's conjecture

the OBR are a right wing thinktank dressed up as a government ministry with the sole apparent purpose of promoting the fraudulent reinhart/rogoff conclusions so I guess the debate is "stop being like this and make it 2012 again please"

given that their immediate statement was "oh noooooooooo I guess we have to privatise the nhs some more" it seems to boil down to a starmerite belief that the non-truss lot could've gotten away with doing the same thing because they are sensible adults


right but mcvey was a tv presenter and celeb gameshow contestant for 20 years before she realised that she really wanted to lie to parliament and get vulnerable people killed

naw frankly starmer is doing the good opposition politician thing where he's promising nothing and (supposed to be) attacking everything. he may be clamboring for a change in government but doesn't actually want it, and neither do the tories. nobody wants power because nobody is prepared to do what's necessary, but atm this round of musical chairs has the tories hosed

Yep, that's the Centrist dream: all the important decisions are reserved for Sensible Grownups who operate outside of democratic control; the voters get to pick what colour rosette their governing technocrats wear. You have a choice of blue, red or yellow!

Oh, and there’s the Bonk-for-Britain push. If you haven’t heard, a Tory minister reportedly told the Sun on Sunday last week that we must use tax cuts to encourage more women to have babies to stem the declining birth rate. If that’s the case, I suggest “blackouts for baby-making” could be the tonic, and could get the Tories leaping back up in the polls. Well, we can dream.

quote:

The Home Office has taken the modern slavery brief away from the minister responsible for safeguarding and classed it as an “illegal immigration and asylum” issue, updated online ministerial profiles show.

The move is seen as a clear sign that the department is doubling down on Suella Braverman’s suggestion that people are “gaming” the modern slavery system and that victims of the crime are no longer being prioritised.

More than a quarter of all people identified as potential modern slavery victims are British, according to official statistics.

Despite Braverman’s claims of people “gaming” the system, 97% of all modern slavery referrals concluded in the first half of this year were confirmed as genuine by the authorities.

The home secretary’s comments were contradicted by the chief executive of the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, Elysia McCaffrey, who said: “We don’t see people gaming the system … What we see is vulnerable people who are being exploited by opportunists and criminals.”

In another sign that the government is no longer prioritising tackling the crime, there has been no independent anti-slavery commissioner in post since Sara Thornton left in April, despite it being a legal requirement since the introduction of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015.

A Home Office spokesperson said: “We are committed to tackling the heinous crime of modern slavery and in the UK we have a world-leading response. However, it is clear people are abusing our system when they have no right to be here, in order to frustrate their removal.”

You've done well, kiddo.
Over a decade of pandering to an increasingly isolationist paranoid minority backed up by the 4 overseas billionaires who control 90% of our media seems to create these weirdos. The Tories dragging their party to the right to dredge up the UKIP and BNP dregs helped factions like the ERG effectively take control of governmental policy.
