lol I caught a discussion of this on NPR earlier, they were interviewing a br*tish guy that was absolutely seething and going off on a rant about how the IMF got it wrong because they failed to consider that the third PM in a 3 week period had actually reversed all of the Bad Things^tm that had been done by BoJo and Truss and therefore there was no reason for people to not be confident in the UK economy because regular people not being able to survive doesn't make line go down
