Boris Johnson

Another point, Labour constantly talk about acceptance and diversity, yet have never had a leader who isn't a straight white man.

Yeaaahhh...no.

Companies aren't using tax cuts to create jobs. Quite the opposite. They're using tax cuts to fund mergers and acquisitions and to invest in automation both in order to slash jobs.

I didnt think so. I was just giving Blakemore some hope. Hes really excited over Truss potentially cutting taxes for big corporations.

Although I think maybe some companies in the U.S. boosted employment after Trump implemented his tax cuts for corporations? Might be wrong though, and pretty sure that was a “Thank You Donald, we will make you look good now” play anyway. As it was an instant response IIRC.

Yep. Even less chance you'll ever have to earn your keep.

Did Trump’s tax cuts boost hiring? Most companies say no

The vast majority of American businesses haven’t boosted hiring or investment as a result of the Republican tax law, according to a survey by the National Association for Business Economics.

Eighty-four percent of businesses said they didn’t accelerate hiring because of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which President Donald Trump hailed as “a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs.” -snip

They mostly kept the profits for the CEOs, board and stock holders, as is par for th course when the wealthiest people are given even more wealth. It didn't "trickle down".

Sorry Blake, but that was funny 😂

Today the Tory party will distance itself from Boris Johnson's damaging reputation by voting in Boris Johnson's Chancellor or Boris Johnson's Foreign Secretary as new Prime Minister.

Baring in mind Liz was only foreign sec for a few months whereas Sunak was chancellor for over 2 years.

Sunak resigned though, forcing Boris out, Liz never did.

That said that move has made Sunak unpopular with the Tory members, so looks like you'll get your wish and get "Help the Rich" Liz.

Help the rich and help the clever folks like me. 🙂

Edit: You're mad that I was saying Liz from the beginning and now she's the favourite. 😂

Huh? It's been clear for days/weeks that Sunak isn't polling well with the Members. He was always going to struggle in the Final 2.

As for helping clever folks, don't know what you mean. Sunak is more Crypto friendly btw.

Speaking of crypto currency, I'm still down on bitcoin...
