Levelling up was a sham. Getting rid of the word won't help. I wonder what this minister will do for those who were left behind by Boris Johnson's shambles?
RT @PaulBrandITV: NEW: Simon Clarke is the new Levelling Up Secretary, even if Iain Duncan Smith told @Channel4News earlier he thinks the phrase is over.

@BrunoLeMaire, quel artiste !

Le Ministre de l'économie vient, enfin, de saluer une taxe sur les #SuperProfits des énergéticiens (qui ne dit pas son nom), poussée dans toute l'Europe mais que la France avait jusque là toujours refusée.

RT @CarolineLucas: Just ducked out of a meeting to listen to @TrussLiz first speech as PM - 3 mins later I’m back in it again. Is that really the best she can do? She’s had a long car journey to prepare what she was going to say - did she accidentally leave it in the car? #ThatIsADisgrace

That's one seriously twisted lectern.
I hope it's a metaphor. Pull out one block and the whole lot tumbles down.
Which one can we pull and how quickly?
RT @AnushkaAsthana: Liz Truss: “it won’t be easy but we can do it… we will transform Britain into an aspiration nation”.

@DavidRobjant The Express seem to think they know several people who have turned down the role. But who are they to say?
Looks like she offered it as a booby prize to some would-be Prime Ministers.

@cplrc Well, Sunak was made to care. We have ways of making them care.

@DavidRobjant Oh it's just that I got the impression that she thought that this appointing a government and coming up with policies thing was a doddle, and that people would help her.

This is like a mega-unbridled version of the unfair "loan" scheme that Rishi Sunak came up with (whose faults were vigorously pointed out in the subsequent days so they had to withdraw the idea of paying it back, and make it bigger and a gift). Truss hasn't a clue.

You can cut consumption by asking everyone to keep moderately warm, and make it affordable to do so, or you can cut it by allowing the rich to keep as warm as they like and leaving the poor and middle wealthy to freeze to death. Guess which way we'll do it.

@JMPSimor That'll be a great relief. I hope they turn down the thermostat in the Strasbourg parliament. Public buildings on the continent have been overheated for years.
