i guess Hunt doesn't give a gently caress but she has to pretend to care because of their base lol

good lord they created this mess, this is the laissez faire free for all they wanted. It seems they just never imagined what it would be like to actually govern during it.

TBH the triple lock is poo poo, it should have been indexed to wages from the start and the only reason it isn't is because pensioners vote Tory

Agreed and this is why labour are silent on it: they want to get rid of it because it's a stupid formula but don't want the headlines of "labour kills your gran", far better to let Truss or Hunt do it then just not reinstate it.

It would have been fine if she wasn't promising big spending for energy bills and no spending cuts. Had she promised austerity and the tax cuts it would have been fine

I am kinda confused by this. wouldn't austerity have tanked things worse than Keynesian deficit spending?

it would have been just as bad. this whole thing kicked off with a shock to gilt rates, and if ur government announces "we are going to induce a recession" it is going to cause everybody to dump uk assets for other things. and people are already fleeing to the dollar cuz of fed pump.

to deficit spend u need somebody to buy ur deficit, or for ur domestic industry to increase production in response to ur fx rates crashing. but u cant just let ur fx crash because u need to buy energy, and everybody wants usd for that now. also the uk doesnt have a domestic industry so instead of substitution for domestic u just get less consumption.

the real issue is that the government is run by loving idiots and everybody knows theyre loving idiots. unfunded direct energy subsidy is literally the stupidest possible mechanism to fix the energy issues. if they had even half funded it with a windfall tax the reaction would not have been nearly as bad. if the bank of england was willing to play along like they did with johnson, it woul dnot have been this bad. but inflation is 10% there is no way boe is going to give a poo poo about the gilt market.

thanks. i was kinda wondering if it had to do with perception of future policy instead of actual enacted policy. this is a good explanation of what the markets expected/could endure
