CAN someone please explain to me how it is possible for two spectacularly incompetent individuals to be put in charge of the UK and simply allowed to detonate a financial bomb underneath us without someone saying “hold on a minute, what you are about to announce is a catastrophically misjudged Budget”?
Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng must be removed from office immediately and a legal investigation undertaken into the meeting two weeks ago between Liz Truss and the City traders who short sold the pound on the Budget release.

AND Truss was voted in by the 160,000 or so Tory party members despite the other final candidate, Rishi Sunak, warning that her economic proposals would tank the economy. Kwarteng the Incompetent was put in place by Truss, with the Tory party members having a huge direct responsibility for it all. Bottom line, the Tories need to be out and yes, under legal investigation – meanwhile Scotland needs to be out and in charge of its own destiny.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
