PM 'ignoring damage and chaos of the mini-budget'

SNP leader Ian Blackford says Liz Truss is "ignoring the damage and chaos of the mini-budget".

He asks the Prime Minister if she will "give up her desperate plan to save her Chancellor's skin by scapegoating the governor of the Bank of England?"

The maths of this exchange are she has held "average" fuel bills at £2, 500 so saving £3, 500 against projected bills per year, but she has cost the average mortgage holder an extra £5, 500 per year. Her "savings" amount to an increase in costs overall for these two items of £2, 000 per year. And she wonders why people don't think she's done a good job.

What else can she say other than energy bills? It’s pathetic it’s painful to watch

How are people supposed to heat their homes if they can no longer even afford to live in them?

It's literally gone from, can't afford to heat the home to can't afford to live in the home. The issue has categorically gotten worse in her attempt to fix it. This incompetent government needs to step aside. It's a cling to power to serve themselves and their friends and it's grotesque to watch.

Broken record replies. Total bullshit tory responses.

[kierans]

For her to make BoJo look competent takes some doing but she has managed it.

Truss isn't interested in the hardship families are facing with mortgage costs. Standing there laughing while repeating the same drivel about energy costs makes that perfectly clear.

What is the point of PMQs if the PM doesn't answer any Qs?

[kevinkevin-ugpo]

Truss just said the same thing again and again.

[RJAH]

Is it just me or do these people knock everyone sick.

This is just are we surprised?!!
She asks the Scots for help and support to deliver but she has no mandate and no How did we fall this far into the abyss?

[safehandsprojects]

Ian Blackford said Truss is trying to save Chancellor's skin 🤮 that explains alot about Truss's taste of cabinet 🤮🤮🤮

[haiyingkong]

How Brits can stand this woman even one second?! Just take her

[carlossanders]

Did I understand correctly: So... she wants nuclear plants to be built in Scotland, so we can have lower energy bills this winter? Call me stupid and all but don't building plants that can produce energy take like... years?

[Matt_Mosley]

Allowing energy companies to DOUBLE what they've been charging is NOT helping. And building more NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS is NOT the answer to energy needs.

When Biden was speaking of Armageddon, he didn't say it has already started with the "election" on Liz Truss in UK.

[lewisg]

But the chaos is make them richer, why would they change that???

[kieranb]

Totally out of her depth, totally inept and drowning. Its the working class that will pay for her mistakes.

[TheBeast-ubjo]

Then energy bill has nothing to do with mess of the mini budget

[KrzysztofBob]

Tories, historically known for fiscal responsibility, went full Leeroy Jenkins.

[JohnSmith-ighl]

I thought order out of chaos was there motto
