While in full agreement of the overall thrust of this point, I would like to note that being published is a requirement for PhDs in most places and certainly very normal. It seems to have been published by Cambridge themselves which is again, fairly normal. It does however mean that no commercial publisher that I can see picked it up, and so I would expect that it was published as a formality once they determined to grant him his degree. As such, being published as a book here isn't noteworthy in terms of how academically poignant the work is (although the PhD itself would be). I note that the PhD is about the debasement of currency in the 1600s. Maybe that's where he's planning to take us back to.6 points

Don't think the IMF realise who they're messing with here tbh. We're a fully sovereign nation, newly independent from the economic shackles of the EU. Britannia is unchained, we have boundless potential. To quote a famous Tory wordsmith, the IMF need to shut up and go away.6 points

Aye, if I think about people that have provided me with laughs/entertainment, he's right up there with anyone. He's just an absolute joy. Even just Athletico Mince and Gone Fishing, they're both guaranteed laughs, and there no mean spiritedness or nastiness or singling someone out to laugh at. Which is pretty rare and hard to do and still be that funny. Hopefully he's gonna be alright.4 points

Kwarteng is an exceedingly clever man, his PHD thesis was published as a book and is apparently ,as quite a few very learned people have commented, very good.He’s one of these that us blue collar proles often encounter in the work place though . He’s got the common sense of a fuckin park bench. It would also appear his chain is being completely yanked by the ERG. And they’re the opposite of clever, they’re ideological zealots. He’s probably in thrall to them because of the aforementioned lack of common sense4 points

This is unreal. Kwarteng is asking the markets not to bet against the pound. Oh, alright then Kwasi mate. https://news.sky.com/story/kwasi-kwarteng-to-hold-meeting-with-city-bankers-as-fall-out-from-mini-budget-continues-127067344 points

Class. I can’t fucking stand him. The fucking nerve of him accusing her of being left wing in the abstract. He’s fucking gutted about the polls imo. He’s your classic Tory enabler3 points

I like Rayner even though she's a bit of a plonker, but I especially like how much she's enjoying this.3 points

labour’s global financial crash, wasn’t it? Labour should dine out on this for years. It took just one mini budget for this Tory government to engineer a financial crisis. The difference being this time is it was a UK crisis, not a global one.2 points

Didn't take long for the nutters to turn on the IMF, an organisation we help found and play a prominent role in. They are in their death throws and all we can do is watch.2 points
