Not one U-turn today but two.

First, she sacks her Chancellor for carrying out her policies whom she backed 100%, then she changes her tax policies!

This is not a good time to be a loyal Tory supporter because loyalty can make you look a bit stupid, a bit like Ross who has publicly backed every U-turn so far. You have to wonder what exactly he stands for apart from crawling after his Tory masters. A man who has no opinion of his own is no man at all let alone a Leader.

We have now had 6 Chancellors in 8yrs! Whatever happened to ‘strong and stable’?

So, back into Cabinet comes Jeremy, in from the cold.

Previously Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs also Secretary of State for Health and Social Care also Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics and Sport.

Removed from all if my memory serves me right, but at least he has Cabinet experience.

More importantly, he has made his new boss ditch her Corporation Tax Policy. Part of his deal no doubt!

We have a PM who refuses to take personal responsibility and will do anything to hang on to her job. She is now owned by her Backbenchers who commands little or no authority of her own.

An engine running on one cylinder!

Also very telling that she is to make a statement again after the Markets have closed. Nothing like hoping nerves will settle over the weekend, didn’t work last time!

She may have stabilised markets momentarily but not her own position.

A weekend is a hell of a long time in Politics!

So, things are so bad that we have Tory MPs coming out of the 1922 committee meeting saying “I’m going to get drunk” and “ we are going to destroy the Country, it would be better to have a General Election than this”

Me thinks the Tory Party is up the creek without a paddle!

How on earth did it ever come to this?

Incompetence on a grand scale is the most polite way to put it, although I would dearly like to say something else!

Incompetence in the way Brexit was handled, all those promises and the posturing of ‘we hold all the cards’ only to find out we didn’t hold any.

The incompetence of the NI PROTOCOL which was signed with much glee and pomp but never read by the signatory in No10!

The incompetent way COVID was handled fiscally, all those contracts handed out with no checks, millions upon millions wasted. All those needless deaths because the then PM didn’t even take the threat seriously in the beginning.

The incompetence of previous PMs in relying on one country to meet our energy needs and no plans to store any just in case the worst happens. Absolute faith in a tyrant!

The incompetence of the new PM who threw the economy over a cliff taking the livelihoods of so many with it.

So another rebellion within the Tory party seems to be on the cards as the markets continue to fall again.

How much more can people take, how much further can this country fall?

And you wonder why they won’t let Scotland go, all this borrowing on the back of Scottish oil. But it takes years to get that kind of gold out, in the meantime, we are in freefall.

They say Truss has no vision, she does, it’s called tunnel vision!

There is none so dangerous as the person who thinks only they have the answer.

There are few people left in Scotland who you could consider to be true legends, sadly one of them has died today.

Ian Hamilton was one of those and a true gentleman. He was the only survivor of the infamous four who nicked the Stone of Destiny and brought it back to Scotland.

Ian spent his last years living in North Connel in beautiful Argyll, he remained dedicated and vocal to the cause of Independence right to the end with a sharp mind and wit to match.

Where are the Ians of today?

Today we hear many voices but little action when it comes to Independence and many of those voices are at odds with each other.

Never before have I seen such friction between YES supporters, they act like two Waring football team supporters. The fight for Independence is not a game. It is not NS v AS, it is Scotland v Westminster and we will lose if we can’t work together.

We can sort the differences out afterwards, the stakes are too high to be squabbling with each other.

The PM said yesterday she will block a referendum even if the Courts allow it, so it’s game on folks against Westminster not each other!

Whatever we may think about other parties our thoughts should remain our own. Now is not the time for childish name-calling or playground games.

There is a big event in Glasgow this weekend, it would be good to see support from all parties acting as adults.

Maybe that’s too big an ask but without it Independence will be lost. At this particular juncture in time Independence is more important than Party Politics.

Let the new Ian Hamiltons stand tall in memory of that great Scotsman.

So, everybody who said Kwartengs Policy of cutting the higher earnings tax last week was right are now saying his U-turn is right!

U-turns are not wrong but when you fight so aggressively to defend a policy then dump it the next day it says more about the person or people than it does about the policy itself.

The fact is this Tory government doesn’t have a stable fiscal policy, instead, we have policy made on the hoof reacting daily to the markets. It’s almost as if someone wakes up in the morning with some bright idea and they just run with it.

The ground beneath our feet isn’t just moving it’s shaking. There is no stability and you can see the uneasiness within the public at large as they walk head down deep in thought wondering what new horror tomorrow may bring.

What horrifies me most is the fact that neither Truss or Kwarteng seem embarrassed or remotely bothered about their mishandling of our finances. There is a complete lack of self-awareness or humility. Every mistake or ill-thought decision made reduces the pounds in our pockets, not theirs!

If there was a prize for being more stupid than stupid then they would surely win that prize.

All the experts are saying for the first time ever in Tory history, they can’t fix the problem left by Boris, but the reality is it goes a lot further back than Boris.

Yes, Labour left a lot of debt but in the 12 years of Tory rule, this has massively increased and is now out of control. Many are now realising that Brexit has been the main contributor. Mainly in the way it has been handled or should I say mishandled.

The Great British ideology of entitlement has sunk HMS Britannia.

You don’t hide good news so one can only surmise that things are pretty dire, so dire Kwarteng dare not tell us.

HMS Britain is sinking but he will make sure there are lifeboats for the wealthy he will also make sure his pals have time to stash their loot abroad before it sinks.

This is insider trading on a level never before seen and done in a way never before tried.

The real cost in human lives this winter will never be known because figures will be disguised in numerous ways just as COVID deaths were.

There is a feeling of real fear across the country, even amongst Tory members, the majority of whom are elderly.

Kwarteng said he had to do something different to save the economy, not sure seeing it fall over the cliff edge is what he had in mind. Yes, the pound has risen a little but that is down to the polls not his recklessness. The rise in the fortunes of Labour have buoyed the pound, people see them as the miracle makers. Not sure they are but they certainly could do no worse.

Starmer does at least come across as a steady pair of hands but what a mess he will inherit.

Today thousands marched to say ‘enough is enough’ but will anybody listen? Don’t think so, more drastic action needs to be taken soon because Truss is going to try and stop certain occupations from withdrawing their labour.

Vote with your feet before it’s too late!
