Following up from previous post

I guess I need to clarify what I meant about two elections.

In order to be elected leader of the Conservative Party, it is critical to buy into the lies that has brought this party from supporting Remain in 2015 to now be an extreme Brexit rabid one.

In short, you have to drink Kool Aid from the red cups.

Almost nothing is being said to address the critical issues facing the country once either of them is elected leader.

The cost of living, and in particular cost of energy crisis will get worse than it is now, with another huge increase in prices in October and another in January 2023. A few pence or percentage cut in income tax will not fix people's bill going up from £1,000 a year to over £4,000, with costs in January expected to top £500 alone.

The time for action is now, before the crisis gets worse.

And yet tax cuts is all that is being suggested.

Unfunded ones at that, and after trying to inject some realism into the tax cut debate, and losing, Rishi is not all for tax cuts as well.

There is the labour shortage which is hitting both individual sectors and the national economy: Triss has said she backs lossening immigration rules for fruit pickers. Let's see how that flies with the Brexit headbangers. But then again, its a failure to understand the agriculture labour market, and that groups of people go around not just the uK, but Europe, picking a particular crop.

In then, I hope reality wins through and something like freedom of labour, even if its not called that is brought in. It might be hard, and if its Truss, former LibDem and Remain supporter, then accusing her of turning like the Brexiteers did to May, would be easy.

A feasability study is being planned to reopen the bulk gas starage facility that this Government allowed to be closed, but it will be too late for this winter.

Neither is foodbank use under control, as people find more of their incime is now spent on energy, they rely on food banks and so shops are seeing their incomes fall too.

There is the real reduction in exports, and investment in the UK, along with the planned intorduction of UK REACH which will double company's certification and comliance costs. I am old enough to remember the then Brexit Opportunities Minister, JRM, saying divergance would only happen when there was a clear advange in doing so, divergance for just its sake would be rejected.

But none, or little of it is being discussed.

And worse of all, any talk is of how much more cruel each would be, not how kind. Which kind of sums of right wing politics, I suppose.

Now that "woke", the turning of a virtue into a sin is something to be derided, until we care for our fellow human beings, our country, countryside, nature and the seas that surrounds us, its all pretty much bollocks.

And at the end, whoever wins will have two and a half years battling these issues before facing an electorate that has not forgiven the Conservative Part for Partygate, and then there will be the fuel crisi on top of that, and who knows what other riders of the appocolypse to come riding in before then.

Buckle up folks, its gonna be a rough ride.
