Crisis? What Crisis?

The Dynamic Duo

Just watched our Prime Minister’s press conference, strangely not really full of jokes but full of:

  • Truss being decisive, but apparently definitely NOT sacking the Chancellor who has apparently shown his patriotism by resigning.
  • Truss forgetting that the chronic lack of growth in the UK has been presided over by her party since 2010
  • Truss desperately trying to find a friendly face amongst the reporters at the press conference
  • Truss studiously avoiding answering the question, “Why is just the Chancellor resigning, when it was a plan hatched by both of you?”
  • Truss being that wonderful thing….. a free marketeer f****d by the markets.

Where do we go from here? Will the electorate remember all this in 2 years time?

  • 2026: Health Wins, Local Wanders, and a World on Edge

    Happy New Year 2026 I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a restful holiday. We certainly did—it was full of quality family time and, if I’m honest, far too much food and drink. Despite the festive indulgences, the health journey continues. I’m currently hovering around the 90kg mark. Since I started this process…
