@CreserDylanPol Thanks, Dylan

.@PJTheEconomist is right: plans to cap energy prices are not targetted
And mask price signal to consume less energy
That’s why @TheGreenParty proposal includes progressive tariff so you pay more as you use more energy
And would be paid for by increasing wealth taxes

Delusional economic policies cooked up by this guy and PM have caused a slump in the pound
Making our borrowing more expensive and increasing cost of all imported goods inc energy
Financial markets will not believe in perpetual motion machines
And we will all pay the price
RT @10DowningStreet: The Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP @KwasiKwarteng has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer @HMTreasury.

Brandon Lewis, the guy who told parliament he had no problem with breaking international law, has just been appointed justice secretary
Democratic standards will sink even further under a #Truss government, it seems

I had remarkably low expectations for Liz #Truss
But incredibly she failed to live up to them
The speech was vacuous, inane even
‘A country of people who get things done’?
Is there anybody who couldn’t say that about their country?

Looks like Truss has abandoned hope of winning the next election and is opting for funnelling as much money as possible to Tory mates for the next two years
RT @Steven_Swinford: Revealed:
Liz Truss's new Number 10 team
There's a big clearout this morning - the delivery unit is gone, there will be a new economic unit
Truss is putting her most loyal allies in key roles
It sounds pretty brutal - officials very upset as they're…

It's clear that the discredited idea of 'trickle down economics' is making a comeback
I think we're all aware of what trickles down
While the wealth we generate will be grasped by the super-rich

Liz Truss will be fourth UK prime minister in six years
We’ve seen instability, shocking growth in inequality, and economic decline during period of Tory psychodrama
Not to mention the disaster of Brexit
We deserve so much better

That sounded like a party conference speech
#Truss is sidelining the needs of the country
(With echoes of pork markets - she still can’t deliver a clap line)
Never have my expectations of a PM been so low

They really are going to choose this moment to come in and tell us we’re lazy slackers and have to work harder for less money
A bonfire of workers’* rights can only add to the heat on the streets this autumn
*aka ‘supply side reforms’
RT @henrymance: Kwasi Kwarteng writes for the FT.
(Brace yourself for the current business secretary saying how bad recent economic management has been, and why the current foreign secretary wi…

@anandMenon1 You're determined to disprove the truism that Twitter can't cope with irony

Wholesale gas prices soar 30% on opening
Energy is too vital a service to be left to the vagaries of market speculators
And especially in time of war
We need politicians to get a grip on European gas markets and windfall taxes on speculative profits

The public wants help with home insulation and energy supplied by renewables
Truss not so much
The public do not want more fossil fuels
Truss’s backers want to prolong the fossil era and trash the climate
We’re getting the wrong PM at the worst possible time
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/GreenPartyMolly/status/1566681295169650688
Deeply disturbing to hear the parade of extremist, Brexiteer and Tufton Street economists given airtime to justify Truss’s fantasy economics
Sounds like Treasury will be going full Trump
While pound slumps, inflation soars, and we will be paying more for government borrowing

Kent brewery hailed as Brexit ‘export champion’ has one EU customer left
Exports of Kent ale to Italy, Germany and Sweden have slumped
Value of annual beer exports have fallen from £600,000 to £2,000
