@RossMackinnonWB @KwasiKwarteng And how much do you think those hedge fund managers shoring the pound are making as it rises again?

Kwasi Kwarteng suggests it was Liz Truss’s decision to U-turn on 45% top rate of income tax
1/ Truss and Kwarteng totally on the same page re tax cutting
2/ Truss puts Kwarteng under the bus
3/ Kwarteng reassures hedge fund friends, ‘It wasn’t me’ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2022/oct/03/truss-expected-to-abandon-plan-to-abolish-45-top-rate-of-income-tax-live

Liz Truss backs down on 45p tax rate cut in humiliating U-turn

@RossMackinnonWB @KwasiKwarteng Because it’s an arbitrary figure significantly lower than the other arbitrary figure we were enjoying before the ‘mini-financial’-crisis.
I’d have been just as happy for her to resign when we hit $1.06

RT @JulianSmithUK: The first job of an MP is to act in the interest of their constituents & in the national interest. We cannot clap for carers one month & cut tax for millionaires months later.

You can’t deny it, this Conservative Conference is going to be a doozy:

RT @LBC: 'But this - this is cowardly and shameful.'
Andrew Marr slams Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng for an 'utter dereliction of duty'.

Loved your rant today, @AndrewMarr9, but re ‘gaslighting’: Whatever Sunak is doing, it’s not that. See below.
Gaslighting = Deceiving someone into believing they have a problem when they don’t.
And, boy, does Truss have a problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_Light

Truss and Kwarteng.
Blinded by ideology,.
We should recall Parliament to fix this mess. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/28/rebuke-from-imf-is-a-global-embarrassment-for-truss-and-kwarteng

If the pound reaches parity with the dollar, @KwasiKwarteng must resign.
The UK economy is already in a bad way.
Parity would be a national humiliation with devastating consequences.

It’s not often I agree with Jeremy Hunt, but I agree with Jeremy Hunt:
It is not more targets the NHS needs, it is more doctors.
RT @SkyNews: "It is not more targets the NHS needs, it is more doctors.
Jeremy Hunt, the former health secretary, has called for a plan on the workforce to be published this winter.

Help for small business energy bills is a temporary sticking plaster, too late for SME’s that already closed their doors.
Conservatives sat on their while pubs, cafes and high street shops went to the wall.

WATCH THIS: Mhairi Black's speech is worth watching right through, even if you do not expect to agree with everything she says.
RT @Imalright_Jack: OUTSTANDING SPEECH
Mhairi Black delivered the most honest critique about this Tory government, in the last 12 years
She covers everything.
It will leave you speechless
This will definitely go down in history.

👏 Good to see an energy company reducing the costs over which they have control.
@OctopusEnergy
RT @g__j: High standing charges are a pernicious feature of the regulated energy market, especially for many of the worst-off households. Octopus will waive standing charges for upto 100,000 hard-up customers for 1, 3 or 6 months this Winter.
