Local areas to be set free of stifling red tape?
💷 Low tax
🏭 Deregulation
✂️ Cuts to workers' rights
EU law protecting these to be scrapped
Chancellor makes attack on people and planet explicit
Expect corruption and the devastation of our countryside

Tory Conference latest: Queues form outside pro-EU fringe event as main hall remains deserted
More interest in @euromove discussion with Heseltine and @DavidGauke than event in main hall
If Tories are really putting growth first this isn't so surprising

Kwarteng has no credibility when he refers to 'our precious public services'
We know he is planning to slash their funding to pay for tax cuts to his wealthy cronies

More chaos from Tories
Cutting of top tax rate is only a tiny part of tax cuts
Those that remain will mean devastating cuts to our public services

'The country is paying a high price for Brexit, in economic, social and environmental terms. We should look to re-join the EU as soon as it is practicable to do so'
Motion passed by @TheGreenParty conf
Proud to belong to such strongly pro-EU party

Fishier and fishier
Looks like Kwarteng met the hedge funds and then went freelance on top rate tax cut
Market reaction then allowed those hedge funds to profit by trashing the pound
PM and cabinet didn’t even know this
They are not in control of the country or the economy
RT @PippaCrerar: Liz Truss drops Kwasi Kwarteng in it on 45p top tax rate.
“It was a decision that the Chancellor made”.
She admits rest of Cabinet was…

🤔 When shown the spike in the cost of government borrowing Truss is keen to point out that this isn’t the same as interest rates
😐 ‘Which are set by the independent Bank of England’
😱 Seems she really doesn’t understand how they had to clear up her mess to defend the pound

Great to be joined by @anandMenon1, @annabirdfr, and @ph_lamberts by video at #GPC22
How likely is it that we will be ready and able to rejoin the EU? And how soon?

Austerity 2.0 to give tax cuts to the rich
Socially disastrous as public services decline further
Economically disastrous as spending of public-sector wages withdrawn from economy
Especially bad for regional economies that need levelling up, where these are best paid people

Germany introduces €200B gas price cap to counter Russia’s ‘energy war’
'We are explicitly not following the U.K.’s example down the path of an expansionary fiscal policy', said conservative finance minister Lindner

@MaxAndersson You really did, Max!
But you know what? I could do with some rather more boring but functional politics

🤯 I’m glad to see that, in spite of all the weirdness of British politics recently,
😱 Voters still don’t like to see a government trash the economy, destroy the pound, and make their mortgages unaffordable
🤑 Just to reward their rich backers

We all knew she was out of her depth but she comes across as callous and dim
And the interviewers make you feel proud of local radio
Worth an hour of your time

Stroud councillors resign from @UKLabour
Keir Starmer's Labour Party gave them a brutal choice: stop cooperating with the Greens or leave the Labour Party
Kudos to councillors who chose to stick with local people's priorities and cooperative politics

Nice job with @CPhilpOfficial, @MishalHusain
Your gentle persistence and focus on impact on ordinary British people revealed how out of the control and out of touch this government is

The clue is in the name
These are the guys who understand finance
This is not about orthodoxy vs ideology but about the basic rules of the game of capitalist finance
Truss attempts to flout those rules are damaging us all
