In her childlike excitement, Truss failed to take note or professional advice that interest rates were already rising around the world, but the thing that really spooked the market was her unfunded Energy Price Guarantee which was predicted to cost up to £140 billion over two years. :banghead:

So, you reckon none of these things happened?

Trump must be suffering from complete mental illness. Aside from the apparent fact that Trump's true support base is primarily from the southern states, where General Lee is revered as a national hero. The Battle of Gettysburg marks the beginning of the end of their Confederate states, there was...

Oh dear, poor old Donald. :ROFLMAO:

Scientists by their training and nature tend to be overly cautious and therefore not the best people to be in charge in this type of crisis. The governments hollowing out and disbanding of Public health England, the organisation actually tasked with dealing with just such an emergency was...

What history, the lying, corruption, fraud or conspiracy theories. :scratchhead:
