So what's up with the UK economy now?
According to a radio talking head I heard this morning, the sterling pound has 'gone off a cliff'. That's no good.
This Lass Liz Truss, your new UK PM, I have had doubts about her since she was spruiking for Brits go take up arms against Comrade Putin's rabble. Fighting talk but a bit naieve for a politician. This latest divergence from Keynesian monetary theory strikes me as similarly reckless -especially as the primary beneficiaries of tax cuts are likely to be higher earners.
Politically brave to pull a stunt like that after just a few days in the job. But with Chancellor Kwasi being an old Eton boy and city hedge fund manager, I remain quietly confident that he has the best interests of the common man ( and woman) at heart.
Our incumbent Minister of Finance is called Kathy Gallagher. I only found that out by looking up her name. I reckon the less you hear about a Chancellor/Minister of Finance, the better, because it means the economy is more or less on track....
Chancellor Kwasi's name is being splashed in news headlines around the world.
Good luck chaps
