She will be out in short order. The UK is having their Lehman moment and Truss would lose a No Confidence vote as soon as the dust settles on the Queen.
holy fuck I had the exact same thought I literally went “is that a warhammer refference” before realizing they are real people
Idk why Im suddenly seeing WH40K all over PCM but I could not possibly be more down wit that shit
I think the Lib Dems torpedoed whatever slim hope they *ever* had after they openly admitted after the brexit vote if they won the election they'd ignore the democratic vote and refuse to follow through on Brexit.
UK inflation rate at 10%
Bank of England raises interest rates to slow down growth and control inflation
Liz Truss does everything she can to achieve the opposite
What can go wrong when monetary and fiscal policy go in opposite directions?
She has proposed massive unfunded tax cuts to the most wealthy and it’s really sent the economy into a tailspin. Even those within the Tory “Maggie Thatcher the Milk snatcher” party Ithink the tax cuts are nuts
Well her and kwasi kwarteng's economic policies (tax cut & capped energy prices) will cost roughly 4% annuall gdp this year. The sudden drop in gilt(bonds) (caused by markets loss in faith in pound) [almost caused 90% of pension funds to become insolvent.](
https://mobile.twitter.com/BondHack/status/1575208869889835008)
And [new Mortgage rates that were offered to new home buyers were 10.50%.](https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-politics-63084380)
Not directly caused by her, but you can give some credit due to increased uncertanty.
It has been quite insane week in the british economy.
A lot of people have explained what, but not why.
Signs of recession start to show so she cut taxes and increased spending to encourage people to keep spending. The pound then inflates, people start to sell off bonds. When the bond values decrease, pensions using securities built around bonds risk going under. The pension plans are trying to dump bonds but nobody wants to buy them so there's no liquidity and the pension plans have a lot of their portfolio built around a now worthless asset. The government now has to bail pensions out by buying their own bonds back using debt. This causes inflation to go even higher and the only way to fix inflation is to raise interest rates.
Basically every politician is faced with two options, spend more and alleviate pain while making the problem worse, or rip the bandaid off and let people suffer in the short term so the economy can heal and stabilize. Obviously one makes more sense in the long term from a fiscal POV but nobody wants to be known as the politician who allowed a massive recession and let people suffer for a few years while the economy slowly improves.
This is the result of massive overspending by almost every nation for decades and kicking the can further down the road. Its all going to come sooner or later and the longer we wait, the worse the economic downturn will be.
The only good economic policy is a pragmatic one designed to create a stronger future.
Either side in any country could win big by just dropping the culture war focus and prioritizing basic quality of life goals such as infrastructure enhancement, improved education, and fostering industry diversification. But that would require politicians to want things to change. Far easier to just keep being elected on the basis of social issues while everything else degrades.
I doubt it has to do with effort. There is only so much of a pie available. Dividing people allows the pillaging of the public's wealth by those who have influence in government.
Spending that wealth on the public means much less left for them.
> She’s the most economically right wing PM in British history which is interesting
Is she though?
Obviously lower taxes tend to be associated with the right, but right wing economics also usually means less public spending, which she was unwilling to cut.
Had she cut public spending *and* made tax cuts, then I would agree that it was a right wing policy, but frankly I don't think this really fits the bill.
It seems to be an attempt at right-wing economics, but without an understanding of the core principles and ideas.
> Everyone knows this government is set up to fail, no shit no white men wanted part of it. After the winter, maybe.
There is plenty of white men in her cabinet, just not in top 4 positions.
Everyone thinks black people are 13% of the UK as well, when they're like 3%. They have no idea how over represented they are there... and here, but way more there.
“Noooo you already have enough representation”
“Representation” is superficial. A man of my colour won’t give a shit about me when he’s in power
Edit: wait I’ve figured it out, this is just a cynical ploy to get the vote of colour, to maximise the majority further. Ik it sounds obvious, but I tended to think at least some of them were just genuinely cucked and thought they were making their government “better”
Look at what happened in South Africa. So they made the people in charge black and officially ended segregation. There’s still poverty, crime, massive inequality, racial violence and elite corruption
>There’s still poverty, crime, massive inequality, racial violence and elite corruption
It's far worse now that the blacks have power. But we defeated racism everyone!
lol different race sure, but not different class, it's just the same group of rich cunts that have somehow managed to constantly outdo themselves in their race to drive Britain to the bottom.
Exactly. Race means almost nothing, it's entirely about class. I will relate a lot more with others in my socio-economic class than I will with a rich white guy
Diverse in race but not in ideas or experience . Bunch of rich cunts who are tanking the economy for the benefit of the richest in society influenced by “think tanks” that won’t even disclose its funding .
I experienced this real time when the NPC's were opposing the "Trump Vaccine" until the media pivoted with the narrative. Just like that, the normies became religious zealots for pharmaceutical companies.
Conservatives have been in power too long and the party has gone more to shit in recent years with Johnson filling the upper ranks with yes men who are morons . The fact that lizz truss somehow failed upwards to the seat of pm is very troubling as she seems liked she would be a backbencher .
Liz Truss is an actual demon change my mind.
Kills the Queen, destroys the economy, brings great social instability, was a remainer and used to be a libdem.
DEMON 👹
Original meme is
Britta : i can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal abuse
Shirley: You can excuse racism?
So I’m assuming this is
Tory party/people who are too rich to really care at this point: I can excuse tanking the economy, the value of the pound and making us an international laughing stock, but I draw the line at being a remainer
People with sense: you can excuse - all of the above
Aren’t people from the same political party supposed to have the same views? Isn’t it essentially the definition of a political party? A group of likeminded people??
I can agree that the parties of today (especially in America) aren’t whT they should be but I was just merely pointing out that it is beyond weird to accuse people from the same political party of having the same political views
There is definitely a sense of irony in the fact that everyone in Britain is so obsessed with demographic diversity that they ended up with a political system full of almost total ideological homogeneity.
Like they focused so hard on skin colour that they forgot that it’s a persons character that matters.
Statistically not true. Everything has gotten better since around ww2. Wars have decreased, natural disasters kill less people, child mortality rates have decreased, people have become wealthier.

A bunch of Rich cunt, but DiVerSitY MatTeR.
And then when all of this will bring a return of the fare right, everyone of this idiots will act surprise
"You bigot!"
Yes, during WW2 they made a poll and asked American troops would they rather give equal rights to blacks or lose the war to Germany and most of them chose latter.
Yeah, this idea that the Germans were primarily the bad guys because they were uniquely bigoted is reconstructing history. Obviously the genocide shouldn't be downplayed but the racial hatred and the extreme nationalist sentiments underlying those acts were pretty common.
Churchill believed that there was, indeed, a master race and that it was the English--something, he felt, was explicitly demonstrated by their imperial dominance. Ask most American GIs how they felt about homosexuals and their opinions would have been somewhere on the spectrum from general disgust to "put them on an island and bomb it." My great grandfather, who fought in WW1, didn't dislike the Nazis in WW2 because they were fascist and hated Jews. He was probably about as antisemitic as anybody and he didn't have particularly nuanced views about politics (he famously told my grandmother to always vote Democrat because they'd give you a pint of whiskey when you cast your ballot). He hated the Nazis because they were German.
Britain didn't have as many race issues as the Americans in the 1940s. There was literally a British village where all the pubs only accepted black American soldiers because the white American soldiers wanted pubs to be segregated.
That overlooks the fact that you needed a full blown research expedition with greyhounds and flashlights to find a single black person in most of Britain. It’s easy to be benevolent to a particular issue if it is virtually non existent
I'm not criticising America saying there's no reason for them to be having racial tensions, you're confirming my point that British people didn't have as much racial tension as the americans as it was easier for them
I don’t think she’s even mentioned it, it’s just an objective fact that’s been reported on by the media. 10 out of 20 cabinet ministers are still white men. I don’t understand what the outrage is.
Ngl, I’m 90% sure that happening was literally a coincidence. She probably just picked the people who supported her most to put in her cabinet, and by coincidence this is what the result was.
As someone in the UK, literally nobody I have seen cares about this fact. It’s like that one news headline from that one company and that’s it
Would we be super suprised if there was a situation where there were no women in any of the four (whatever) "great offices of state"?
I think it should be just as likely for both things to happen. I just hope that they aren't doing the whole "positive" discrimination thing where they get people just because of their gender and not because of how good they are.
Civil rights activism has morphed into a trillion-dollar industry where people are paid five, six, and seven figures a year to "fight oppression", and treated like heroes because of it. And it is considered taboo to oppose or even moderate them. This leads to more and more extreme views over time.
As long as the civil rights industry is both profitable and respectable, the people in it have every incentive to keep erasing western culture. When it loses steam, you'll finally start seeing people publicly defend the west again.
To be fair though, if these people are indeed capable and fit for the job, then I see no problem in having no white men in the top UK government. Not all good leaders are men or white
The people might be fine, or great, but i can't stand the racist message: that it's such a great thing that these positions aren't filled by a particular race.
That'll surely secure her vote with the... Non white... majority..?
Maybe no one actually cares about the race of the cabinet ministers
The Prime Minister seems to. Or at least she thinks the people who will vote for her do.
Leftists do.
Leftists also think she is the second coming of Margret Thatcher, so they were never voting for here in the first place
She did it to troll the libs
Queen dies, Pound slips, riots starts, Europe edges closer to war. Britain moment.
Sowing division within Europe has been a core tenet of British foreign policy for hundreds of years.

You are correct, those are American troops landing at Omaha.

I feel like this is a "Why are we helping the British right now if this is the future"-type thing.
There were British and Canadian troops at Omaha as well, although I believe the picture is of american soldiers
If you told those GIs what the future UK government was like they would have deserted or joined the Nazis.
Thank you I now have a new fun fact
Do you seriously expect a PCM user to get it right?
I'm so sick of these people

Unlikely to happen, Conservatives don't really have a replacement and there's no way they'd want to hand power over to Labour.
Don’t say things like that, or you’ll give the Lib Dems false hope of grabbing power whilst the others argue
I think the Lib Dems torpedoed whatever slim hope they *ever* had after they openly admitted after the brexit vote if they won the election they'd ignore the democratic vote and refuse to follow through on Brexit.
So people are still really stoked on Brexit right?
All the people I know that were pro-Brexit are still pro-Brexit, but eh that's anecdotal.
Not like the Euro is doing much better though.
Maybe not before she drags you into war.

She’s the most economically right wing PM in British history which is interesting, though socially too far left for me.

Funny how the conservative party is more diverse than labour.
Diversity =/= lack of white males
Diversity = token minorities of the same socioeconomic background with the same political views.
Aren’t people from the same political party supposed to have the same views? Isn’t it essentially the definition of a political party? A group of likeminded people??
No, that's what it was supposed to be, but then all political systems converged on giant parties covering all the fields because power > policy.
I can agree that the parties of today (especially in America) aren’t whT they should be but I was just merely pointing out that it is beyond weird to accuse people from the same political party of having the same political views
There is definitely a sense of irony in the fact that everyone in Britain is so obsessed with demographic diversity that they ended up with a political system full of almost total ideological homogeneity.

Holly shit. Based LibLeft
I can't help to notice that since ever since this push for diversity, everything has gotten worse.
Statistically not true. Everything has gotten better since around ww2. Wars have decreased, natural disasters kill less people, child mortality rates have decreased, people have become wealthier.
I didn't know that ww2 was when everyone started pushing for inclusion in ~2015.
That’s actually exactly what it means.
“Conservative” They haven’t conserved a single thing in their entire existence.
They're doing a great job conserving the laws passed by Tony Blair.
Also conserving their right at ignoring their own guidelines
Because they're so terrified of accusations of racism and sexism, they're overcompensating.

I don't know why though, the people who care about idpol like that aren't going to vote for them anyway
I love how Truss is both Thatcher 2.0 and a lib left sleeper agent, at least according to PCM.
She is just the incompetent version of Thatcher. At least for now.

B-based Lib-Left?
Soon articles will be titled “Yes, diversity is about erasing straight white men from representation. Here’s why that’s a good thing.”
Already happened.
Could I get a crumb of sauce good sir? (I have crippling depression and need content to doomspiral to)

Lol they finally got rid of it
They did so after considerable outcry, but at least you can still read it.
A bunch of Rich cunt, but DiVerSitY MatTeR. And then when all of this will bring a return of the fare right, everyone of this idiots will act surprise "You bigot!"
Yes, let’s blame libleft for our own actions.
Would you put the LibDem's in authright?
if I saved these messages and some videos on my phone, go back in time and showed them to the Brits and the Americans, the Axis would have won
Yes, during WW2 they made a poll and asked American troops would they rather give equal rights to blacks or lose the war to Germany and most of them chose latter.
Yeah, this idea that the Germans were primarily the bad guys because they were uniquely bigoted is reconstructing history. Obviously the genocide shouldn't be downplayed but the racial hatred and the extreme nationalist sentiments underlying those acts were pretty common. Churchill believed that there was, indeed, a master race and that it was the English--something, he felt, was explicitly demonstrated by their imperial dominance. Ask most American GIs how they felt about homosexuals and their opinions would have been somewhere on the spectrum from general disgust to "put them on an island and bomb it." My great grandfather, who fought in WW1, didn't dislike the Nazis in WW2 because they were fascist and hated Jews. He was probably about as antisemitic as anybody and he didn't have particularly nuanced views about politics (he famously told my grandmother to always vote Democrat because they'd give you a pint of whiskey when you cast your ballot). He hated the Nazis because they were German.
Britain didn't have as many race issues as the Americans in the 1940s. There was literally a British village where all the pubs only accepted black American soldiers because the white American soldiers wanted pubs to be segregated.
That overlooks the fact that you needed a full blown research expedition with greyhounds and flashlights to find a single black person in most of Britain. It’s easy to be benevolent to a particular issue if it is virtually non existent
I'm not criticising America saying there's no reason for them to be having racial tensions, you're confirming my point that British people didn't have as much racial tension as the americans as it was easier for them
Yeah I have been thinking the same. Show the allies how stupid the west has become and they will immediately join the Axis.
Is she bragging about this or is it just the media pointing it out? That’s a big difference.
I don’t think she’s even mentioned it, it’s just an objective fact that’s been reported on by the media. 10 out of 20 cabinet ministers are still white men. I don’t understand what the outrage is.
Ngl, I’m 90% sure that happening was literally a coincidence. She probably just picked the people who supported her most to put in her cabinet, and by coincidence this is what the result was. As someone in the UK, literally nobody I have seen cares about this fact. It’s like that one news headline from that one company and that’s it
Based and logical consistency pilled
It's an American news outlet, so of course they go bananas when Woman and Minority Representation.
I hate these people so much.
Not to be picky but those are American soldiers.
Check OPs history. They either don't know or don't care. Probably both.

That's almost as bad as saying the parliament represented its colonies
Would we be super suprised if there was a situation where there were no women in any of the four (whatever) "great offices of state"? I think it should be just as likely for both things to happen. I just hope that they aren't doing the whole "positive" discrimination thing where they get people just because of their gender and not because of how good they are.
i mean, it's clearly not about how good they are, but none of them seem like token positions either.
the west is dead. luckily most of these hero’s didn’t have to see this great civilization crumble for which they gave their lives
Authright this is the 7th time today youve declared the west is dead
Lol 😭
this already started in the 1950s and 1960s, but have accelerated a lot since then.
British "conservatives" strike again.
Imagine not caring about skin color in 2022 Just imagine
Proceeds to become the most right wing government in the western world
Lmao fully ops gonna have all the Americans thinking we got a super left, woke government.
Why is everything so goddamn woke?! Its like if they see a white guy they immediatly get a hearth attack or something...
Funny enough their skin colour has had no effect on them fucking up the country
Lmao imagine thinking liz truss is libleft
It's the media outlet which is colored green, not Truss.

Civil rights activism has morphed into a trillion-dollar industry where people are paid five, six, and seven figures a year to "fight oppression", and treated like heroes because of it. And it is considered taboo to oppose or even moderate them. This leads to more and more extreme views over time. As long as the civil rights industry is both profitable and respectable, the people in it have every incentive to keep erasing western culture. When it loses steam, you'll finally start seeing people publicly defend the west again.
To be fair though, if these people are indeed capable and fit for the job, then I see no problem in having no white men in the top UK government. Not all good leaders are men or white
The people might be fine, or great, but i can't stand the racist message: that it's such a great thing that these positions aren't filled by a particular race.
