Crashing the economy is a crime that sounds the death knell for a Conservative Government who are inflicting terrible hardship on tens of millions of Britons.
The plunging pound and real likelihood of expensive interest rate hikes are bleeding wounds from unforgivably huge giveaways to the very rich by incompetent new Tory PM Liz Truss and her Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng.
Driven by poisonous dogma, these Downing Street neighbours are responsible for a growing calamity that deserves to sweep the Tories from power at the earliest opportunity.
The markets that Tories worship are delivering their verdict and it is a clear rejection of an immoral bonanza for the undeserving elite.
Labour Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ vow to be reasonable will sting many Tories.
They know Truss and Kwarteng were the very opposite of Reeves, pursuing discredited trickle down economics by borrowing heavily to stuff the bank accounts of a monied few.
Keir home run
Extending home ownership is an audacious move by Keir Starmer to demonstrate Labour is the party of aspiration and achievement.
Increasing the proportion of us owning the property we live in to 70% is drawing another red line between his party and Conservatives incapable of intervening to do what is needed.
Building new houses and flats is crucial but so too is ensuring they are affordable and are not all snapped up by landlords and speculators, many of them from overseas.
Stamping Labour as the party of home ownership, alongside plans to increase social housing and improve private tenants’ rights, promises security. Everybody is entitled to a safe roof over their head.
Amble down
Ambleside is proud to be the home of a restaurant crowned the world’s best.
The Lake District town also boasts some of the best views, making it a tasty double winner.
