No 7 bins!
No meat tax!

Sounds very Major-ish to me.

Apparently Truss is going to reveal her own budget ideas a week (?) before Jeremy Hunt does. Unhinged?!


She is quite delusional - although by all accounts she has always behaved thus. A perfect pick for PM then. What's her majority? Can we hope that the voters of <insert Tory heartland constituency name here> stick her in the bin??

I can see her in 10 years time sitting in a dockside dive looking into the bottom of her 10th Whisky Sour and wailing "I coulda been a contender. I coulda bin somebody!"

I can't remember the cones hotline. Probably just too young.

The SNP also appear to be changing their position on tax in light of their recent by election loss and recent polling.

Think you're older than I am and I recall it!

There were always signs in roadworks with "cones hotline" on it. No-one ever knew what it meant or why it was there.

And in the age pre-mobile phone how on earth you were supposed to call it from the motorway anyway.

They mentioned the hotline the other week in jest/comparison and it's the first time I'd heard of it.

I noticed this morning it's even got its own wikipedia page.

I remember the cones hotline from back in the day and understanding that it was ridiculous, a number to call about cones operated by the organisation that had put the cones trhere.

Basically the rant into a large hole number to placate idiots
