Today I learned that Jamie Oliver is part of the 'anti-growth' coalition as well as people from, holy shit, 'North London '. Is there where we are now? That explains why his restaurants failed.

Probably a stupid question... does people spending more on energy bills equate to higher (measured) economic growth? What about people buying 2 phone chargers instead of 1 (iPhone I'm looking at you)? My gut feel is that it shouldn't and probably doesn't... but I don't know if "growth" accounts for efficiency? No cause it's spending more for the same units AKA inflation

Conor Burns has the whip withdrawn and kicked out of the government over serious misconduct allegations and the latest polls are either static or getting worse for the Tories.
Liz Truss bounce still not about.

Former NI secretary, he's from Belfast, was a trade minister and now he's got more time on his hands.

Considering the amount of MPs that are currently under investigation for sexual offences, racism etc and are still in place, wtf has he done to get the sack so quickly?

Presumably, he was one of the people who indulged in a bit of light gay bashing

During the conference he mentioned how Bad Enoch was the future of the party or something. It was words to the effect that she should be leading the party instead of Truss. Might well have been they were finding an excuse to give him the boot.

Obviously innocent until proven guilty of any possible charges but certainly guilty of being a tosser from past actions.

No idea if there's a betting market for MPs to cross the aisle but Johnny Mercer has been raging for a while now, he was the veterans minister and got pushed out by Truss and he looks like he's fuming about the travel pass situation.

I very much doubt he'd join Labour but if he becomes an independent Conservative he'll have to be on the other side.

If they do manage to oust Truss, he might get another chance to be booted out of office. Third time lucky and all that.

About the only good thing about this is that they acted quickly (obviously whether there's a case etc is another issue). But BoJo would have ignored it and I guess they've tried to learn from that.

The thing is, there'll be rationing of a sort anyway. If some people get their bills in Nov/ Dec, they'll naturally go "fuck that" and just turn shit off. This is it. It's like Covid. People will reduce use due to necessity and make their own choices (which I guess is what the Govt want/expect). But an acknowledgement of the issue would go quite a long way imo.
