Sir Keir Faces Rishi.
At the moment the Labour party is riding high in the polls. If there was a general election the Conservatives would be all but obliterated. Labour has enjoyed a lead in the polls for some time now. When Liz Truss and Chancellor Kwarteng delivered the mini-budget many saw how unfair it was. It was scrapped apart from the odd detail by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt. Hunt was brought in by Truss to stabilize the financial markets after Kwarteng was sacked by Truss. When Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister he retained Mr. Hunt as Chancellor. It is thought that Sunak and Hunt will delay any budget statement for now as the two of them discuss it.

The Lady's Not For Turning: Apparently!
Liz Truss is heading for the annual Conservative Conference in Birmingham. This comes on the back of the successful Labour party conference in Liverpool. The mood at the Labour party conference was buoyant as Labour seem to sense their time is coming again. They stand at 33% above the Conservatives. The mood at the Tory conference will have an air of desperation as Truss may have squandered her political popularity. Squandered because Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget started a panic in the financial industry. When it was revealed that bankers would have their bonuses reinstated and the wealthy would in the main, gain from the budget it caused a storm.

Rachel Reeves: Praises Sir Keir and Attacks Kwarteng's Tax Discounts.
Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves certainly had much to say about her leader and her opposite number Kwarsi Kwateng. Speaking about Sir Keir Starmer Ms Reeves said he was a "brilliant man". There would be some justice in Ms Reeves describing him as such. Sir Keir had a brilliant and outstanding career whilst practicing as a barrister. He was also Director of Public Prosecutions and represented some clients for free. As Labour leader he had to make Labour electable again. This Sir Keir has done but has probably alienated the still present Corbynistas in the party. Sir Keir has weathered the Boris years and surivived other storms too. Now with Labour climbing in the polls and ahead of the Tories Labour are back it would seem. Depending on fortune of course Sir Keir could be the next Prime Minister in 2024.
