Sorry Umair, but you're talking absolute bollox. First, Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng are ideologues, far-right fanatics who still think that trickle-down economics isn't a Reaganite fairy tale and have no understanding of finance whatever.

Did the working class vote them in? No, of course not. Liz Truss was voted into power by 82,000 members of the Conservative party, mostly rich old white men. Now, it's a disgrace that we allow this and we need to change it pronto, but the working class can't take the blame for something they had nothing to do with.

The last time they got to vote in a general election in December 2019, they were still bamboozled by Boris's fluent bollox. Signs are good that a lot of the people who voted for Brexit that time would rather vote Labour if asked again - Starmer has a lead of 34 points in some polls at the moment. The so-called Red Wall in the north that voted for Brexit also seems to be returning to Labour.

Frankly, I don't care who gets in next time so long as it isn't the Tories and there is a tactical voting movement where people work out which party can take out the Tories in a particular constituency and then vote for them. So we might have a coalition.

Short story: don't blame the Revenge of the Working Class. Blame the downright unconstitutional way the Tory party finds its new leaders.

Oh by the way. Watch out for the collapse of the UK housing market within the next two weeks. That should dispose of the Thatcher-wannabe Liz Truss and her crazy lieutenant.

It's all go over here.
