RT @KwasiKwarteng: Today we changed the law to allow businesses impacted by strike action to hire skilled, temporary workers to mitigate disruption.
This was a criminal offence. Now it’s an option for business.

Truss citing Patrick Minford should ring alarm bells
He is seen as a maverick whose work runs counter to that of the vast majority of economists
And his predictions are almost always completely wrong
More evidence of Tories living in a parallel universe
RT @AdamBienkov: Liz Truss says her plans to fund tax cuts with borrowing will reduce inflation.

In her interview on @BBCr4today, Liz Truss made 3 economic propositions
1) Her tax cuts will decrease inflation
2) Tax cuts boost growth and prevent recession
