We have cause to be grateful to #Sunak, yes grateful. For he has done what no one else, not #Boris' friends, allies or supporters, could.
He has finally woken the sleeping giant.

#Sunak has been a very silly boy. Even after everything #Sunak did to him, #Boris was content to sit quietly in the backbenches as a loyal #Conservative. But tonight, there was a turning point, the letter to the Privileges Committee. Finally #Boris had had enough.

Kwasi #Kwarteng would not have realised, when he first announced his intention to be a tax-cutting, pro-growth, fiscally-responsible #Chancellor that he had immediately set in motion the daggers that would be thrust in his back 38 days later.

An excellent summary of the cost of living in Germany vs in the UK.
This has very little to do with the EU. It's about corruption in politics.
One country invests in the long term future of its citizens
The other gives out backhanders, crony contracts and dodgy deals to donors

One thing @skedeschi doesn't cover is a comparison of the two political systems.
Like the UK, Germany is a collection of smaller states working together under a United Federation.
But unlike the UK, each state is fairly represented. In the UK, England gets a 90% block vote.

Lke the UK, Germans value both their local representatives and the ability to choose between various policies offered by political parties.
And both countries have roughly 600 MPs, albeit Germany makes this work with a much larger population
But there the similarities end

Britse pers onthulde op 29 oktober dat de hacking reeds ontdekt werd tijdens de zomer en dat de telefoon van #Truss in quarantaine werd gelegd. Vóór de aanslag op #Nordstream dus. Maar dit soort informatie kan enkel door de inlichtingendienst gelekt worden.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
De vraag is waarom de Britten dit nieuws niet in de zomer vóór de aanslag op #NordStream publiceerden?
De Britse timing van dit nieuws op 29 oktober komt overeen met de timing van de Russische claim op 29 oktober dat er bewijs is dat de Britten de aanslag hebben uitgevoerd.

1 soutien inattendu et majeur dans la course pour devenir leader Tory et PM en Grande Bretagne: Kemi Badenoch, étoile montante du conservatisme culturel droitier, issue de l'immigration nigériane, vote Rishi #Sunak. L'ébauche d'un tout sauf #BorisJohnson? thetimes.co.uk/article/kemi-b…
2. Le ralliement de #Badenoch à #Sunak semble indiquer qu'1 éventuel duel avec #BorisJohnson- toujours pas candidat- ne se fera pas sur 1 clivage modérés/radicaux chez les conservateurs mais bien plus sur le degré d'adhésion ou de rejet de la personnalité et du style de l'ex PM.
3. #Badenoch, qui a étonnamment brillé lors de 1a précédente course au #leadership en juillet sans se prononcer alors entre #Sunak et #Truss, joue aussi clairement le coup d'après #BorisJohnson s'il est écarté. Très jeune (42 ans), elle peut mener l'aile droite Tory à l'avenir...
Why do tax cuts have to be "funded"? Why not just cut government? 🤷 #Truss
All Liz Truss & Kwasi Kwarteng did was try to reduce the tax burden on their citizenry & let people keep more of what they earn.
The "problem" is this would've created economic growth, and the central banks and pension funds have already placed their bets in the other direction.

Our governments have created such a monetary problem over the last few decades, with endless QE and the recent trillions & trillions, that the think the only way out of this is… tanking the economy.
Think about it: what an absolutely insane predicament these fools have created.

🚨Liz #Truss ha annunciato le sue dimissioni da leader del Partito Conservatore.
Con soli 45 giorni di servizio, Liz #Truss diventa il primo ministro in carica meno politicamente longevo nella storia del Regno Unito.
#Truss ha iniziato la sua dichiarazione affermando di essere entrata in carica "in un momento di grande instabilità economica e internazionale". La Gran Bretagna, ha detto, è stata "frenata per troppo tempo da una bassa crescita economica".
🔵 NEW: #LizTruss will be entitled to claim up to £115,000 per year from the taxpayer for the rest of her life once she leaves office, despite likely being one of the shortest-serving prime ministers in history.

🪙 The Public Duties Cost Allowance allows former prime ministers to claim back money toward the cost of maintaining activities in public life.
Former PMs have claimed back millions through the scheme since it was set up in 1991 following the resignation of Margaret Thatcher.

Se pensate che il caos politico sia all'ordine del giorno solo in Italia allora non sapete cosa sta accadendo in Inghilterra, dove la premier Liz #Truss ha appena licenziato il suo Cancelliere dello Scacchiere, l'equivalente del ministro dell'Economia, Kwasi #Kwarteng.
Trattasi di mossa disperata da parte del primo ministro, decisa a sacrificare il suo uomo dei conti per provare a salvare se stessa. Dopo poche settimane a Downing Street, infatti, i Tories che l'hanno issata alla guida del partito sembrano averne già piene le tasche.
#BREAKING UK's Truss appoints centrist Hunt as new finance minister

The idea is that this is a wider European bloc which will include countries not in the EU, either because they’re waiting to join, they don’t want to join, or they’ve left (🇬🇧).
But there are already such groupings, like the Council of Europe in Strasbourg and the OECD in Paris.

What’s the point of the EPC then?
The idea is that, unlike CoE & OECD, this will be a forum for heads of state and government to meet and discuss major issues.
Such leader meetings don’t happen in those other organisations.

Here we go again! The 1922 committee will stop at nothing to get their man Rishi as PM. What is playing out now is a conspiracy to bring down #Truss by MPs loyal to Rishi supported by the 1922 committee. They will stop at nothing until their man is the leader. 1/10
There is no way Rishi can become Prime Minister without the help and support of the 1922 committee, as they control the rules and the processes to elect a new leader. 2/10
The big problem is that Rishi is not popular with the members who have already rejected him as their leader. So 1922 will have to elect Rishi by blocking member's votes and eliminating them from the leadership campaign. 3/10

“There is no doubt that the orthodoxy can get things wrong. But it learns from its mistakes. Far from every element of the “Washington consensus” — the economic orthodoxy of the 1990s — survived the Asian financial crisis in the latter part of that decade.
