  • I was expecting some sort of humongous U turn, or possible the record broken for shortest serving PM ever. But as of yet, there's no backing down.


    Next up, Liz Truss is interviewed on BBC Radio Nottingham.

    The PM continues her defence of the government's mini-budget, saying the energy package is likely to reduce inflation and increase economic growth.

    She reiterates the government has taken decisive action to help people with energy bills.

    And Truss says it "simply isn't true" that the tax cuts announced on Friday will benefit higher earners.

    "The biggest part of the package that we announced is the support on energy bills, making sure that people across this country are not facing energy bills of more than £2,500 and the businesses can get through this winter," she says.

    She adds that it's not "fair" to have a recession or to not have high-paying jobs in the future because "we've got the highest tax burden in 70 years".


    My advice. If you're gonna borrow a chit load of money in a time of crisis, use it to help those that the C.O.L and fuel crisis most affects. At least that way you might curry some support amongst the voters. For all I know her ''plan'' might well be a perfectly viable one. But it's certainly not a plan for this moment in time.

    • Truss and her 'Quasi' Chancellor are responding that their policy is a long term plan and they are unconcerned about the short term but if you don't cover the short term you may never reach the long term.
      Money markets hate sudden change and when it's accompanied by a refusal to publish the OBR it sends nerves a-wobbling. Bankers aren't prepared to wait patiently until November 23rd before they make their decisions. It's the supreme arrogance of the woman. Nor does she have the nerve to face her critics except on local radio.

        I’m sure in the middle of a cost of living crisis poorer families will be comforted by that. Support the rich in order to create jobs and growth and the benefits will trickle down to them one day!

        • Her planned easy ride, doing the rounds on provincial BBC radio this morning was painful. She is woefully out of her depth, unfortunately, and every time she opens her mouth it must send more panic through the finance markets.

            Agreed. Scary times.

            • The scary times are going to continue as long as we are controlled by globalist foundations such as the WEF and WHO.
              Let's hope the fight back is beginning in countries like Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Poland and Italy.
              Does anyone on here genuinely believe Labour under Starmer will make this country a better place to live.

                          A better place to live than under the current government?

                          100% yes.

                                Sunak said that if she got the job and implemented her policies she would trash the economy. She did, and probably has.

                                Never thought I would say this, but I would rather Boris still be in the job. Leading a party where the majority wanted someone else as leader - how long will she last?
