OPINION: Tory MPs may cry tears of humiliation and shame. For their constituents, tears are nothing new
Beware Sir Graham Brady - he of the thousand watt smile, holder of the letters of no confidence, bringer of doom to Prime Ministers. Really a man who should be galloping around Westminster on a pale horse.
It’s hard to argue with him. Who voted for this? How did it come to be that politics in this country has come to resemble some kind of reality show for the over-promoted, in which the electorate are just the audience for experiments and games, and not the people they're actually supposed to be working for?
They are just four examples of desperate people already struggling with a cost of living crisis, compounded by the aftermath of the pandemic and war in Europe, yes, but caused largely by government mismanagement. All that means that while the Westminster psychodrama might be unedifying, the economic fate of millions rests not only on it coming to a swift conclusion, but on the decisions that come out of it.
The Energy Price Guarantee is now expected to last just six months, there's been a u-turn on the cut to the basic rate of income tax, and while Truss said she was committed to the triple-lock for pensions, we don't know if her successor is. Neither do we know if benefits - so vital to the disabled, the working poor, the unemployed, and carers - will rise in line with inflation.
