TLDR Truss "Because of the Ukrainian war, I had no choice but to give my millionaire donors a massive tax cut while providing a piss pot to the poor and struggling."
The word you are looking for is bribers, not donors. We need to stop using their whitewashed, watered-down corrupt terminologies.
"I need to give my millionaire donors tax cuts so they can keep donating to me :'("
Don’t forget “oh and don’t forget we stopped people paying over £2,500 even though we’ve completely trashed the market and hiked up bills for everyone who isn’t an elite
At least, she still had decency to come up with an excuse. Soon their only excuse will be "Oh, just piss off"
The Ukrainian war is just an excuse. There's no energy crisis in the UK, it's the rich grabbing an opportunity to get richer. The energy industry makes never seen profit from our money, now they'll pay less tax to make even more profit while help for the poorest (benefit) will be cut.
I can't believe this is happening in the 21st century UK and people are not protesting on the streets.
A quiet question: how about scrapping an unnecessary 98bn project that only ruins the countryside and upsets everyone? Oh, no, the contractors will not have their profit then...!
'Seeing Truss as PM is like seeing an elephant at the top of a tree. You have no idea how it got there but you know it won’t be there very long.......''
Imagine ww3 kicking off with her in charge lol.
I hope you're right 🙂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If gives me hope for my plan to take over space and block the sun and make yall pay for the rays.
Perfect analogy.
Rishi Sunak is laughing 😮with the voter’s decision.
We need a system where if a question is asked they have to answer directly. Allowing this waffle, even when the question is asked directly several times, should be considered a crime. These people are at the top of the country and allowing question dodging is total madness.
How would you draft that law then?
We need a convention whereby if a question is asked, there is a chance to answer it.
@@Chiefmismaker I'm not a law maker so that's not really my wheelhouse. Doesn't mean I can't suggest it though. Just seems odd that leaders of millions of people are so willingly allowed to dodge vital and important questions that affect us all.
@@kirstymoreland5379 I couldn't agree more. I'd love to see that for all politicians and a similar quality rating system for interviewers too.
always laugh at that Govt statement that goes " The Minister was not available for comment ". Why not ? Dont they work for us ?
Why has it taken so long for the BBC to hold Conservatives to account in this way?

uk state establishment mouthpiece does as instructed
The prime minister and chancellor should resign and call a general election. I can’t believe we are now in this state after the massive error. I would rather pay more for energy as I can control my usage. I can’t control my mortgage payments
Yes you can, don't buy a house.
London needs a referendum to be renamed the Republic of west Pakistan. The UK is a tolerant liberal society so it's people will have no problem with this.
Mortgage rates are going up across the world
@@Worms_Pro I’ve got a house and a fantastic salary. Do I can pay out all this does is bleed the economy as now I’ve got to spend more money on mortgage payments and still more money on energy so I’m still just as worse off. Which means I won’t be spending money in the economy aside from bills, Lidl food and that’s it.
@@Worms_Pro cool, English people live on the street in winter...WHAT A GOOD IDEA xD
Liz Truss should be ashamed of her mini budget she has trod on everyone on universal credit AND NOW I HEAR SHE IS CONSIDERING CUTTING THE THE UNIVERSAL CREDIT YEARLY INCREASE TO FUND HER CUTS, ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING, MINDBENDINGLY ANGRY.
She is so intransigent and obstinate, never admitting mistakes and always blaming external factors...such a coward
She says she's helped people with the cost of living what she means is she's lined the pockets of the highest earners. £2500 energy cap is still £1600 more than last year. It's a joke.
The £2500 cap is not a household cap on energy. It's the cap on the unit. It's the way they've spun it to make it sound like you won't pay more than £2500. But you can absolutely pay more than £2500 and people will because the wording used by the government makes everyone think they can use their energy as much as they like without exceeding £2500.
She’s obsessed with Putin it’s getting cringe now

Well done Liz for getting out there. Stand your ground!
They weren’t worried about being blacklisted from press pools. That makes a HUGE difference. The Tories have faced a decade of soft questions, hiding from anyone who would ask a hard question.
@@FireIceEarth 👍
@@FireIceEarth they’re asking these hard questions now since they’re also now suffering 😂😂😂
Indeed. The BBC national news has been an utter wet flannel compared with these regional guys. Shockingly so.
She was reading from a ‘script tree’, this explains her pauses between questions. This is also why she sounded robotic in her delivery.
Wow. She and her cabinet need to go and be replaced by adults. My wife's family is all in the UK. All of them are worried.
She got roasted by every single interview… she is clearly out of her depth
not waving, drowning
Yah think?!
No, she is clearly NOT out of her depth. She is taking a piss because she knows that impotent dumbbells like you will do nothing about it.
She’s bounced her way up from education to trade to FM and now PM. She doesn’t display intelligence or an ability to string a single thought of her own with actual informative data. It’s clear she’s propped up by the elite who find her to easily manipulatable. She’s more there for foreign policy than domestic
Not qualified to run the country, How the hell did she get the power. Time to dump her ass out before she does more damage to the UK.
The Putin excuse is getting tiring now
Getting?
Yep everything is Russia fault now, even stubbing my toe this morning.
I am sick, tired of listening to government saying they do this or that to avoid a financial burden to the public, no matter what they do it's a financial burden to the public where else do they get money from, of course they get it from the banks and who pays the banks, THE PUBLIC !
local radio are ther voice of the people. this highlights how bad the "mainstream" media is and how they have their own pockets lined
walked past a homeless man today decided to put an envelope filled with cash into the largest house i could find ...it absolutely was the right thing to do!
Go on Chris! We all know that the homeowner will invest that wad of cash, start a business and make fair and steady profits and then he will go out and purchase many luxury items and property with that money and...
Well somewhere along that chain of events the homeless man gets some help according to the government, we can't say exactly where but he will benefits in a few years. (After he has starved to death) .
Legend
Finally someone understand, we all should support the rich a little bit more, thats the least we can do.
😂 good one…
Sarcasm? Can't make it out.
Truss does not even understand her own policies... The cap is not £2500 per household, the unit cost is capped and £2500 is the average bill for a household, some people will definitely be paying more than £2500, it is an outrage as is the EU is windfall taxing the war profiteering power companies who will pay that bill from the money this woman is borrowing in our name..
Why does she need to know? We pay her heating anyway so she's probably just out of practice on what gas is for
Sunak probably enjoying the this circus and some popcorn
In Norway the electricity producers are looking at a 90% tax. Yes. 90%.
Energy Companies DO NOT own your meters. Yes you heard me right.
Let’s get out of the habit also of calling energy companies suppliers when they aren’t any such thing. There BROKERS! Selling you debt. Which is fraud.
ABOUT ENERGY COMPANIES
Let me explain about energy companies and what they can and CANNOT do.
The electric and gas supply to the house or company cannot be cut off ever. Well, not in the UK.
The world of the movies is different. Once installed that supply of Gas or Elec or Water will be maintained because the National grid is not the energy billing company.
It's a separate company called the National Grid who have a contract with the government and they will not breach that contract and the judge has no authority to override that contract.
So not even a court order can have that Gas/Elec/Water feed cut off. This is why they want to get in your house and fit a prepay meter.
Now this is Civil and in the world of Civil the Judge CANNOT give that order, and he won’t.
WHY? The contempt of court reporting restriction does restrain the Judge and if he breaches this it’s a Judicial review at the Royal Courts of Justice and he gets fired.
So in brief there is no chance in hell that the feed supply will ever be cut off.
I can’t say that this is the same in every country. But they have to dig a hole in the street to get that done. I’m not saying that it can’t be done but the National grid will tell the Judge to fuck off.
They can do anything in the Movies. The Bureaucratic red tape for digging a hole in the street alone can take months.
The Billing Company is just that. It’s a metering and Billing service also licensed by the criminal cabal dba Government, Which also means in economic terms the Gas/Elec is 92% Tax the same as fuel.
A Billing company does not provide any Gas/Elec.
It’s just an extension of government by the license Billing company.
The Gas/Elec meter is NOT owned by the Billing company either and all they have is the serial number of the meter on record.
So without that serial number on record which gets moved from Billing company to billing company when you change billing company, they have no reason to Bill you or enter your home.
I am now using the words Billing company because they do not provide the Gas/Elec. Can you see how the language they use is also fraud??
The very contract is Fraud and there can never be that full disclosure of the Fact that they are just a Billing company under licence from the government OFGEM office.
The Government do not have the legal authority to sign that OFGEM Billing company licence because the people have never signed that Legal Consent. NONE of the Acts and Statutes are legally enforceable without the consent of the governed.
So it’s end-to-end fraud and the unsigned paper they never sign is the proof of that fact. Companies Act 2006 section 44. Please go read it.
www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/section/44
Everything has to be signed by an authorised person. Well the Billing Company itself is not the authorised person, is it?
This is why nothing is ever signed.
Fraud Act 2006 section 4(2) Fraud by abuse of position when it is an act of omission. It’s not signed. AND they can’t legally sign it so they don’t. It's all about the Paper evidence and they send that to you.
www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/section/4
It is in your hand. Material evidence of fraud sent by the fraudsters, This brings us once again back to the Claim and the MAXIM...
"He who makes a claim carries the OBLIGATION to provide the Material substance of the Claim. Otherwise, the claim is fraudulent and it is also a known CHARGEABLE, Criminal offence. "
The signed authorization does not exist.
You don't need to go to court.
What everyone should be doing, is getting a responsible fitter to fit YOUR OWN meter in your OWN home. There are thousands of meters on eBay.

If this was a mini budget I dread to think what a major budget would look like...
You would not have got this questioning from Laura Kuenssberg, not from Politics Live, Radio 4 PM or Today or any national BBC news outlet. They can't ask these sorts of questions because they need to be on friendly terms so they can pick up the Westminster gossip. Client journalists. Well done the regions!
She seems to be and she sounds like one of those hopeful apprentices with Lord Sugar.
🤣
Even the ones who got fired in the first week of the apprentice would do a better job. That's saying something!

She sounds and looks like senator palpatines apprentice.
@@alikamal3464 She's probably his mum
The worse one was BBC radio Lancashire she literally just stopped talking
Damn!!
Her pre written script didn’t take his questions into account… she literally didn’t know what to say
Alexa.. Alexa..? Alexa!....... ALEXA! 👀
We have Quantum A.I. computers these days, surely they can do a better job?
What a shame to blame others but not herself
This budget is for her friends to be able to make as much money as possible before they get kicked out
Her ignorance is just amazing. Not even acknowledging that a mistake was made with this mini budget. It’s like a bunch of amateurs somehow managed to take over government
it’s not ignorance it’s intentional malevolence
Why was it a mistake? Please be specific...
Told you, Rishi would have a better choice.
Not you personally! Tory supremists
its not ignorance its planned, krazy kwertang went to a private cocktail party with bankers who made billions shorting the pound after his budget, told him to do it again so he will, one thing the tory party is not on the side of is England
It's time we have some kind of school-style examination for politicians. People vote for them for a variety of reasons and then just assume that they have the knowledge and skill to deal with anything that comes their way. There are sixth formers studying economics who can do a better job than Truss and her Chancellor. The argument against politicians needing to be expert is that they can consult others who do have the necessary expertise. The problem we are facing is where the politicians are ignorant but too arrogant to seek and take advice.
For real bro. We need some meritocracy here.
Tbf, chancellor kwarteng supposedly has a phd in economic history from Cambridge. He should have enough sense not to tank the £GBP.
Totally agree. Also, cabinet ministers should not be shuffled between departments/portfolios they have no expertise in.
There are more sixth formers who are only semi-literate too... The educational quality of the UK has fallen through the floor in the last couple of decades.
To be fair, we didn't even vote for this moron. Blame the tory party members for voting her in, and bring on the GE
I for one, am really looking forward to be able to heat my home for a couple of weeks before the bank comes a knocking
Tax cut should be conditional. If a company creates X number of jobs then give a Tax cut or tax holiday. Unconditional tax cuts will not guarantee growth.
She’s sad. Not up to the job. Thinks she’s Thatcher ( even sadder ). She’ll have to go with her chancellor - or we’re all going down. Oops !
I think we’re already sunk. Just waiting to hit the bottom now.
Thatcher sold the uk business s to private
Thats why the uk conomy was slow and down a little and then france and germany overtake the uk leading economy
Thatcher is lost in her end times at government wayback before
The bests are reagan and trump and the current president of taiwan japans prime ministers australia presidents new zealand sweden norway poland leaders
This government has been a dumpster fire for a long time. Their only ambition seems to be to make sure the whole country turns into one as well. At least that way we'll be warm, I suppose. Hooray.
People just can't admit when they make mistakes anymore. Those aren't the kind of people you want in power over other people.
If this Gov did nothing for the last 2 years We would be in a much better place
Truss and Kwarteng did this budget without an updated OBR forecast because they knew their plans were not worth the paper they were printed on.
You’re not the brightest are you.
No its even worse than this, there is an OBR forecast but they are just refusing to publish it.
She's a born-again Ukrainian, just keeps blaming Putin.....absolutely clueless and useless.
The top rate tax cut of 5% will be more than wiped-out by increased mortgage payments. So only high earners who've paid-off their mortgages will benefit.
Yeah, no shit. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, …….It does ..
Well that's alright then.
Interest rates are going up around the world.
@@Chiefmismaker Not like this.
So we have to feel sorry for the high earners then? Get a life for God's sake
Nothing I have heard from Liz Truss, nothing I have read about her, nothing I have seen of her has led me to believe that she is capable of succeeding in high office. Nothing.
How beastly to be proved right.
How utterly beastly.
Even when confronted with the obvious, she keeps on denying...who was it that said ''The definition of insanity is keeping on doing the same thing and expect a different result'' ?
Some unknown bloke by the name of Albert Einstein. Why should chucky bride… sorry I mean liz truss pay attention to this guy words
Just seen this morning talk of scrapping the triple lock for pension rises next year. We can't have the rich losing out on their big tax cuts so pensioners are going to pay for it ?. It sums this government up really doesn't it?

@@dragonfly6908 maybe it is speculation but I'm 68 years old now,I stayed on at work because I was asked to do so . I like my job so no problem. I claim my state pension and save it because I don't need it at the moment so I speak on behalf of people who do. This government is a disgrace but I've seen the tories in action doing the same thing time after time looking after the rich and sod the poor. What kind of people would see vulnerable people struggle while happily feathering the nests of the rich. I speak as someone who is comfortably off but unlike this rabble in charge I have a social conscience
@@clivebennett7985A lot of people are fooled by Labour who they think identify and understand the plight of the working class and the poor, lol.

I would imagine the only time that they see a food bank is when they are driving past one.
@@dragonfly6908 you are right of course but what's the alternative? More of this lot screwing the working class even more or someone trying to help a bit . We all know when push comes to shove the all have their snouts in the trough ,but it's immortal to give the rich even more when people will not be able to afford the basics in life
For those comparing her to Thatcher… Thatcher would be turning in her grave. Liz cannot even give a sustained, articulate and correct answer to any of the questions she’s being asked. At least Thatcher answered every single question thrown at her and more. If you haven’t watched any of Thatcher’s interviews I would.
Well, she’s answering with “Not my fault, it’s the Banks fault and Putin’s fault. It’s the global recessions fault”.
I’ll have to check out Thatchers interviews. I think politicians answered questions more bluntly in the past.
I wouldn't compare them because Thatcher actually did some good things but Thatcher did cripple the country by selling a fair chunk of our countries industry for what was essentially for short term repair and caused a good majority of long term consequences with the financial struggles we face with today. But I will say that it wasnt just her and that Tony Blair did make things severely worse so i can understand where people are coming from when comparing both Truss and Thatcher. Ultimately, it just can't be overlooked anymore that after this, it proves where the conservatives are aligned. With the rich and wealthy and not with the backbone of the country being us in the general public.
Let's not forget Thatcher was good friends with Saville, someone who had access to the morgue in children's hospitals.
So far Truss hasn't befriended any child molesters.
@🍓 𝐌𝐘 𝐇𝐎𝐓 𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐎 - SĘÉ NÓW ! 😂 What is that picture?! Haha!
Thatcher joined the ecc my friend committing treason. She also new ted heath gave 540 tonnes of our gold to a foreign country. Liz truss is bad but in no way a comparison to thatcher. If you don’t believe me ask yourself this question. Why was the queens title changed to head of state.? Head of state means head of the corporation.
Kwasi: we need cut tax to help our public services 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
First time listening to real news from BBC
Capping huge fuel bills then bringing in a savage "mini budget" to help the wealthiest is not a good compromise for anyone below 100k.
This country will tank again.
A mini budget to raise more tax in total to spend on public services you mean?
The last point made by the Financial Times editor is worth attention. Bond values dropping, pound getting pounded, government debt increasing in high high interest and inflationary setting, maybe tax cuts should wait. Trickle down economics has been a disaster here in the US.
Targeted investment/tax_relief, with a more moderate tax cut for upper income gives delibrated direction as well as flexibility but later on.
These tax cuts should increase the tax take so isn't that a good strategy?
@@Chiefmismaker is that you Liz? 😂
The people of England should be protesting now outside parliament to stop war
Liz Truss should be the "Least Trussted" politician to run the country.
You could hear the ‘fear’ in her voice 😮
At last some real questions from the BBC.
Odd innit. Like as if they got rumbled by a line of ex-journalists.
All they're doing is reporting questions asked by their regional outlets. The central beeb hasn't suddenly grown a pair.
Lol.
Local radio not BBC central, nobody listens to this radio shows and the elderly don't go on you tube, they'll have screened this once in the early hours while nobody was watching. The BBC and Sky are pure Conservative propaganda

Decisive action would be pensions and wages set at 4 times the rent for one bedroom apartment local. Social security act and minimum wage act requires this amount of money legally.
The tax cut on the wealthy will cost more than 100 billion a year so for the next ten years that’s a trillion pounds. That’s a trillion pounds that could have been invested in the poorest and lower working class. To have better education, not live in poverty and be motivated hard working citizens.
We have had enough austerity, making the rich richer doesn’t invest in the future of our country. Those rich can invest their £10/£15k a year windfall in foreign holidays and properties abroad.
They could have spent that money on green energy saving and producing projects. Created a massive amount of jobs and at the same Time becoming a big net energy exporter. Improving schools, reducing class sizes. More university money for research. Bring up the level of education a cross the board.
Those things would bring investment into our country. Companies want a well educated happy looked after workforce. Well educated innovator that feel they can afford to take risks on business ventures and will not fall through the cracks if they don’t do exceptionally.
Let’s not forget that the young have suffered enough with school and social life closures from lockdowns. They needed a leg up, not this.
I wish liz would see ur comment well said
Well said
Did they anticipate their policies leading the pensions schemes nearly collapsing? Clearly the BoE stepping in wasn't part of the plan so they either knew it was going to happen and did nothing, or more likely didn't know it was going to happen which means they have absolutely no idea what they're doing
@Rooskie J But the vast majority of people have no savings; they do however have mortgages, loans and debt...at a time when the cost of living has sky rocketed.
Only the rich benefits!
@Rooskie J you have 5% interest but 10% inflation. You do the math. It also worse than you think because even tho you might have saved your pennies unlikely that you have the equivalent of your yearly expenses in savings. Besides, most peoples savings are being eaten by inflation which means they haven’t got anything to profit from that interest
She hasn’t got a clue, cutting TAXes to the country’s wealthiest was not in their Manifesto.
You had me at 'ecconomic plan'. Hilarious good one.
to those who voted her in, are you satisfied yet?
BBC local journalists, show BBC presenters how to ask questions.
People take note PRIVITISATION does NOT work for the little people only the RICH!
Why is BBC Radio Kent talking OVER the Prime Minister of the UK? Could it be due to her canned and tone-deaf responses to highly direct questions by local journalists?
She simply doesn't understand what she's doing. It's like watching the first week's episode of the Apprentice. Truss Ya Fired!

The UK economy was overheating before the mini budget with ridiculous house prices. Soon a public toilet will be £250,000 plus.
Hello. There is no growth plan. Just doubled down compounded austerity for the most vulnerable in society hiding behind an unsolicited top rate tax cut.
If you dont understand, you shouldn't just say what Gary on the internet is posting.
This could lead to more cuts in public spending to make up for the borrowing costs and make the markets surge but will add to the suffering already undergoing.
Her assertion that the mini budget tax cuts had nothing to do with the sterling sell off and market crash and it was all to do with the war in Ukraine and Putin is cringe! She’s basically saying that no matter how extreme the measures she decides to introduce she’s impotent to protect the U.K. economy. So which is it Liz? You caused this economic meltdown OR you’re powerless to avert a crisis caused by prevailing conditions? The reality is she’s avoiding admitting that she actually catastrophically worsened an already bad economic situation. She’s a total joke.
My family is poor, I’d rather pay £6,000 fuel bills than have the higher rate of tax removed. It should have been increased to 50% minimum 😮

There was a time when the politicians tried to do good for the sake of the people. Then came Boris followed by Truss.
Genuine question: Why are people getting heir knickers in a twist about the 40% tax rate - it really doesn't affect anyone...
I can't understand the reaction - you'd think people don't want tax/NI reductions.

2500 is not a cap, dont be fooled!
It is not a total price cap! The cost per Kwh is capped so that the average household would pay £2500 per annum! If you are above average i.e. family with small children or retired and at home more, you would probably pay more!

Who knew that cutting taxes and increasing government spending will invariably lead to higher borrowing cost? Seriously how naive does one have to be to throw out these policies and think they might work
What if she didn't cut tax but still increase spending? I think the tax cut plan wasn't a good one but the spending could have been a good idea if properly used
@@kennethisaac233 same problem mate. How do you fund extra spending? Either by raising taxes (which makes her cutting taxes all the more stupid) or by increasing borrowing which will increase borrowing cost.
The root of the problem was the government overspent during Covid. Furlough schemes and other government support aimed to stabilise the economy as we tried to deal with the pandemic cost a lot of money. Not saying it was a bad policy at the time but we all knew that we would somehow have to pay for it in the future.
Also UK is one of the worst run countries I have seen and I have lived in three countries (and constantly travel for work to other developed countries). There’s a lot of inefficiency and wastefulness (and most probably corruption) in our government spending.
@@randomcon123 what about borrowing from the BoE without the cost?
@@kennethisaac233 huh? How can you borrow without the cost? What are you even talking about
doubles your fuel bill, bungs you a few quid, tells you it’s actually doing you a favour.
the only trickle down here is the pi$$ they extract from you on a daily basis.
Just fed up with the way she answered the questions. When it comes to explanation she always turn to hey that is a global issue not only UK😂
I wonder if the removal of the higher rate of tax was the price Truss paid for her premiership? That would explain her reluctance to undo what is so obviously a huge mistake 😮
Life in Trussia 2022 and beyond...
I'm an early retirer (64) and unpaid carer. I was officially in fuel poverty before all this started, living on under £10000 pa. Increased borrowing is taking money from us all for years, probably decades to come, putting it into the pockets of the rich in the form of tax cuts. Trickle down economics is nonsense, it's about fleecing the poor to give to the rich. Trickle up economics is needed, give money to the poor and they spend it, they have no choice. The rich put their tax cuts in havens overseas.
We've replaced Widmerpool with Gollum.
Truss is just keeping up with the Pootins: if he has his Special Military Operation, then I want my Special Monetary Operation.
When politicians mess with people’s life’s the public should make their life tough so they think twice
In 1979 the interest rate was 17%. Ridiculous for people to think that interest rates can stay low forever.
Well, at least she got the respect she deserved/earned...
Try being more like channel 4, and attempt to hold the governments accountable.
They can't its like talking shite to your boss you can but will be sacked immediately.
@@MegaKapo12 case in point, the BBC is by DEFINITION, biased to the government.
@@MegaKapo12 It's true that the main BBC channels can't be as harsh as other news outlets because they need to maintain relationships with politicians so when issues like partygate come around (which to be fair was very critical of the government) they can be harsher. They have to pick their battles so to speak. However, I admit, this should be a battle they are fighting harder for. I think you'll probably also find a lot of collaboration with other news outlets to provide research and resources for ITV and Channel 4 to then report. Where the BBC shines is in local broadcasting, which is still an essential resource, as demonstrated by these interviews with local stations, and also important for people to get news in their local area.
Her voice says everything 😂😂
Xanax?
Poor Liz. She thought that simply being a third rate Thatcher cos-player was all the qualification she needed to be a successful, effective PM. How wrong she was.
The public need to protest all over Britain and get this conservative government booted out before we completely go bust.
general elections please !
You still believe voting makes a difference?
Obviously we DON’T need an election duhh, Liz Truss already has the support of the PEOPLE. Albeit 80,000.
I imagine this woman will go down in history as one of the worst pms I hope she proves me wrong but she’s crippling the UK right now.
Amazing how in a bubble these folks are
If the report was not released, how can you say the reaction was worse than, what would have been, "the reality".
Rich getting Richer poor getting poorer
At least Boris made up laugh while selling us out. Cut to a year where they replace her with someone even more dull… and nobody would even notice
Even duller.... The Brexit mess is a poison chalice for anyone. Unintended consequences. Must not be used to excuse all other lack of common sense. She cld always give the zip wire a go🤭
The ‘mini-budget’ has systematically propelled us into a dark recession. Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Lord Clarke recently told Sky News that “The budget was a serious mistake and it has caused a serious problem”. Markets will continue to be skeptical about the UK govt's economic plans if they refuse to publish an independent forecast!
at the time of the mini budget Clarke came out saying it was the best tory budget ever done, he cant make his mind up.
It's a great lesson and punishment for people who support tory party. We still have time to take an action against this turmoil.
