Every Tory leader wants to be the next Thatcher. Rather than having constructive dialogue with people, who have suffered years of pay squeeze because of Tory policy, they have become even more belligerent. This isn't like them inheriting someone else's mess and standing their ground, it's their mess and now that want to make it worse. 12 years of excuses for why there can't be pay rises and now, faced with some of the most rampant inflation in decades, they just have yet another excuse.
I think the various Tory governments need to stop pretending things done by the previous governments were not their fault. They were MPs / ministers still.
Hunt's budget stabilised the markets but he did so by pushing through more pain onto the lowest earners. The middle class is going to disappear in the UK as the government fleeces them.
