Truss and her cronies are so confident of success that they've refused to let the OBR do an economic forecast based on the effects of her policies.

Does she believe a word of what she’s saying?

This woman should not have been able to show her face ever since Pierce grilled her 2 years ago on Covid deaths

[sojounourtruth]

This government is so embarrassing. How idiotic can they get?

We import two third of our cheese, that's is a disgrace - Lizzy 🤡
Good work

The look in her eyes says " I know f*ck all about ecconomics & have no idea what I am talking about, but I get paid well & get loads on expense".

What a liar. No one speaks of the thousands on legacy benefits that got sod all during covid. They are some of the poorest.

The tax rates are fine what they NEVER discuss is ending the tax avoidance schemes utilised by large multinationals where they pay almost 0% corporate tax maintained by politicians in exchange for “donations” to campaigns “etc”😂

Tories roll out dorks like this on a weekly basis and not a peep - Diane Abbot gets a few numbers wrong and it's in the news cycle and engrained in people's memories for weeks. Wonder why.

[rohanchapman]

Think even they've stopped believing in themselves

[Nightsoil]

She talks a lot but doesn't say much, they want people to have higher wages then they kick off about the unions striking for higher wages yet no problem for bankers having their wage cap scrapped

[Malteser]

Why is this policy a bit risky? Basic economics

[TUDCARELL]

Just nice not to watch and endless stream of nodding idiots staring at a box briefly. Real news

[gerrytowie]

I think Whatley will be gone come the election.

[mr.akechi]

It seems she had a hard time giving a coherent and convincing answer, BJ may help her with that, or he prepares a model answer for all conservative MPs.

[nicksmith]

Wow. How can we have got to the point where we are content to have such staggeringly, inept, and woeful people, in our government.

Who earn eighty thousand pounds a year.

Ah well.

[MrAdriancaparso]

How does allowing ppl to keep more of their ownnmoney create inflation?
