Dear Truss the world is telling you it's not the right plan. Everyone here is telling you. What is the matter with your brain today? Why didn't you ask the experts before you did it?
RT @peterwalker99: Truss: "This is the right plan that we have set out."

OK, she's not shifting stance. Yet.

RT @peterwalker99: Truss appears to have set out on her broadcast round deciding to pretend it's her energy help which is controversial, not her nearly bankrupting pension funds and sparking a housing crisis.

Sorry #Truss but you could have increased tax on the wealthy and had a windfall tax on fossil fuels and given an small allowance of energy to families (the renewables dividend) and raised wages and benefits. You could have understood that redistribution improves the economy.
RT @peterwalker99: Truss is effectively arguing: we had no choice but to act because of Putin. Well, yes over fuel, but it's nothing to do with tax cuts f…

@NickFerrariLBC blasts Chief Secretary to the Treasury Chris Philp for claiming the financial crisis triggered by the mini-budget is because of the Ukraine War.

@GarethJoice @lelcampbell7 @nadinebh_ Yes "grudgingly" was an understatement. If he could have added all the taxes to low paid workers and exempted fossil fuels and wealthy people he'd have done so. Kamikaze chancellor has more or less done that.

@yrieithydd Well at least you got one. Possibly you'd be able to buy one for a fiver, next week. On the other hand the five pound note will be worth £1, and you'll need it to buy milk. Also you're paying your mortgage in ££, so it's very cheap (if you earn in dollars). Oh, ah, well anyway...

How to create more chaos than Covid? Elect an irresponsible Tory government.

No mortgages, repossessions, negative equity: so property speculators can buy up cheap property, families can't afford a home, and anyone who needs to move is stuck selling for less than they paid. And you bet Tories will cut homelessness support and sell off the social housing.
