Despite disagreeing on his high tax-austerity proposals, the best thing about Sunak is that he backs fracking.
Solving our energy crisis quickly is crucial to dealing with our cost of living
Let's hope if he does become PM, he doesn't backtrack.

Here we go again with the Times.
So distraught that their man Rishi lost the leadership vote they spent every day of Truss’s leadership not and premiership trashing her.
Now they’re back trashing Boris.
The only thing Johnson ‘will prove fatal’ for is Starmer!

There are a lot of people on twitter (here’s one below) getting very confused between free markets and financial markets.
Free market economics does NOT mean you do what an interest group like the City of London dictates.
RT @LiveFromBrexit: @LanceForman I know it’s only been a couple of weeks ago Lance, but remind us what the free markets thought of Truss’s economics.

⬇️CONFESSION⬇️
Rishi Sunak spent his whole hustings claiming to be a ‘son’ of Thatcher - our greatest PM and free marketeer.
Now his supporters ⬇️ claim that free market economics don’t work.
He was wrong then and they are wrong now.
Rishi is no Thatcherite.

Last night Ken Livingstone was supporting Rishi on GB News. Now Alistair Campbell is batting for Rishi. It’s very clear who Labour think is the easier target.
RT @campbellclaret: Oh how nice … the image being sent round the pro-Johnson WhatsApp groups … one of which has just stopped taking new messages because of allegedly racist comments by Johnson supporters about Sunak. Admin has stepped in. Such lovely people

@TomSwarbrick1 On inflation Boris would have either been advised by the hopeless OBR or useless BoE.

This short video is worth watching - Boris’ departure speech in Parliament.
It’s why we need Boris back.
- Calling for lower taxes and deregulation
- Reminding MPs to beware Treasury orthodoxy.
Etc etc etc

Boris will be missed. #PMQs

RT @BBCBreakfast: 'If you are watching Boris your country needs you'
Fishmonger Steve Waters who works at Birmingham Indoor Market told #BBCBreakfast his customers want Boris Johnson to replace Liz Truss as Prime Minister

Not sure why people keep going on about Rishi’ economic credentials.
He was the one who borrowed £500billion and was then surprised we had rampant inflation.
He broke Tory manifesto promises by raising taxes.
He rose national insurance which Parliament has now voted down.

Liz Truss’s policies + Boris Johnson communication skills = Perfection

Only @BorisJohnson returning can save the Tories.
I'd welcome that but with less net zero please and move ahead urgently with fracking. It's fracking wot will save us!

I am so sorry for Liz Truss.
The arrogant, self-serving Tory MPs never gave her or her policies a chance, despite her fair election as leader.
I'm disappointed that she didn't stand up for what she campaigned for, but I cannot imagine the pressure the bad losers put her under.

It's good to see that Jeremy Hunt supports fracking.
He also called for 15% corporation tax rates in his leadership bid.
Trying to find some chinks of light...

MPs are a bunch of arrogant, self serving fools. They are ALL (all parties) bringing poverty upon our nation with their net zero derangement. The public DON’T want this.

@NickFerrariLBC our inflation rate is lower than the EU, lower than Germany and much lower than Netherlands at 17%.

This is a brilliant debate @IainDale
I knew nothing about fracking until I started researching it one year ago when my electric bills doubled.
It is a superb resource which can not only get us out of the cost of living crisis but actually make us wealthy.
MPs are ignorant!

@IainDale people often say fracking in the USA is different to here as it’s a huge country and they frack where there is no population.
But I read that in the USA 15million people live within one mile of a fracking well. Is that true?

These exchange rates are revealing
Mini-budget date 23/9 - £1= $1.123
Rate by Oct 4 - £1 = $1.147
14 Oct Kwarteng sacked - £1 = $1.133
Rate today - £1 = $1.124
The £ strengthened post mini budget
And fell when mini budget was ditched, even with Hunt.

This is brilliant by @LoisPerry26 incisive, direct and clear analysis of what’s really going on. ‘We should all have the haunted look in our eyes that Liz Truss has’. She’s right. Democracy is being trashed. The little people are being trampled on.

Look at the bright side. If Boris does return he won’t need new wallpaper as Liz hasn’t changed that yet. @Iromg
