Is it time to reconsider the view that Liz Truss was the architect of her own demise, with her tin-eared mini-Budget spooking the markets? Yes, according to Truss (and others). It was the Bank of England wot done it.
According to a fascinating article in the Critic, it was the reckless and irresponsible behaviour of the Bank of England that spooked the markets and brought down Liz Truss’s Government, not the mini-budget.
Rishi Sunak has reimposed the ban on fracking lifted by Liz Truss, in his first major shift away from her policy agenda. He also hinted he would bring back the ban on onshore wind farms.
In this week’s London Calling we discuss whether Rishi’s coronation is a WEF coup, the oddity of Just Stop Oil attacking a man who agrees with them about everything, and whether the world ‘globalist’ is anti-Semitic.
Rishi Sunak’s installation as Prime Minister is not the result of a globalist plot masterminded by the WEF. If there’s an invisible hand at work, it’s that of the financial markets.
Things are going to get worse before they get better. Truss should call an election, lose, and then blame the country's economic problems on Labour. If she doesn't, the Tories could be out of power for a generation.
To lose one genuinely conservative Cabinet minister may be regarded as a misfortune... The political events of the last week are beginning to look like a globalist coup. Or is it just one monumental cock-up after another?
In this week’s London Calling the talking points are PayPal’s recent difficulties, John Cleese’s new show on GB News, Michael Gove’s alleged sadism, Boris's resignation honours list and the threat of nuclear war.
King Charles has reluctantly agreed not to bang the drum for ‘sustainability’ and ‘net zero’ at Cop27, after Liz Truss advised him to stay away from the climate summit. Sounds like she’s done him a massive favour.
Liz Truss has appointed to conduct a 'review' of Net Zero policy she promised during the leadership campaign one of the people, Chris Skidmore, who created the current policy, indicating no plans for change.
