The dark clouded gather it seems.
From Sky News:
/Ominous warning from senior Tory suggests many in party far from convinced at government's plans for economy
Labour's Marsha De Cordova hit a sore spot for the Tories by juxtaposing the government's choice to lift the cap on bankers' bonuses with their maintaining of the cap on benefits for the least well off.
Andrew Griffith replied that Cordova had "fully booked her place onto the anti-growth coalition".
But one of the government’s biggest vulnerabilities is that it risks looking like the "nasty party", and Labour will be like a dog with a bone on issues such as wealth inequalities as they know it is putting them significantly ahead in the polls.
The Tories are acutely aware that the optics of helping the rich while hurting the poor will likely lose them the Red Wall seats that Boris Johnson worked hard to win from Labour, and in turn could be electorally catastrophic for the party.
Mel Stride, chair of the Treasury select committee, went on to caution the chancellor to be sure the government could afford what it promised, an ominous warning suggesting many in the Tory party are still far from convinced that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng's policies are financially sound./
Starmer is right to prepare. The IMF have already said that 2023 will be even worse.
Having destroyed the markets and confirmed their ineptitude with the fiscal event they’ll not recover.
As one OPer is generally selective in his acknowledgment of polls, (despite posting one this morning) I wonder what he makes of this one?
