Russia changed its tack this week. Its using ‘drone’ missiles, called kamikazis, made by our friends in Iran, to bomb the poor civilians and buildings in Kyiv, rather than Cruise missiles, like they usually do. They probably just appointed the ever prudent Jeremy Hunt as their chancellor too. Because those horrible drones only cost about $20,000 each whereas a Cruise will set you back a million, at least. So although Cruises are a bit more accurate (but not much) and carry a bigger payload, for the same cost you get 50 kamikazes. Quite literally: more bang for your buck.

Or it might be that Russia is running out of money and/or armaments, as has been suggested. So this is a way of, like, changing from Fortnum & Masons to Aldi for your weekly shop. Although Putin is banned from both.

And you have to feel that Liz Truss will soon be banned from Number 10. Her plan to ignite the flames of British productivity has instead caused a wild-fire of horrendous repercussions. That’s what happens when you apply a quite radical political philosophy to a nation on its knees with debt and rising prices with the world looking on and saying: “what? NOW, she wants to do that????”

National leaders don’t have to be bright. I won’t even list the candidates who exemplify that statement. There’s too many. But a good leader is one who chooses good people to advise them. And listens to what they say. Everyone (who knows those sort of things, cause, effect, economics, clever stuff) stated that Liz’s intended plan was catastrophic. Where were her people? Her clever people?

So now Jeremy Hunt has ‘rewound the clock’, with a subtle shift from ‘much lower taxation and loads’a spending’ to ‘increased tax, no benefits, far less spending’ in 4 days. Yet the rewind is imperfect due to the damage inflicted before the u-turns were stated. Leaving us with the absolute worst of everything.

I’m lovin’ Liz Truss

Happy Wednesday
