Liz Truss

[mat]

I didn't watch the speech to save me having to buy a new Tele.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Absolutely bang on. Devoid of any substance or credibility whatsoever, cosplay politicians running and ruining the country.

If you could pick anything remotely policy-related from the speech, which is admittedly very difficult, then the commitments all appeared to entail more public spending (defence spending at 3% of GDP, health and policing more generally), not less.

The ‘iron grip’ on public finances was particularly laughable given the lack of a fiscal framework and the refusal to publish the OBR’s projections. It took some real neck to come out with that line a week after the Bank of England had to launch an emergency gilt purchase scheme.

The guff about aspiration, and people getting on in life, won’t cut it when people’s mortgage repayments skyrocket in the next few months and they start losing their homes. Then of course the line about her being the first PM from a state school was a blatant lie.

Jeez, has she had 'em out? I've missed it!

It’s the anti-growth coalition now.

What does she think would have happened last week if the Bank of England hadn’t stepped in to avoid a complete meltdown of the UK yield curve, and the major pension funds from going pop?

She’s uttlery deranged. I don’t trivialise mental health issues, but there’s something seriously wrong with her upstairs.

That’s an understatement. I've met paranoid schizophrenics who had a firmer grasp of reality than Truss.

Oh, I thought she had got to the lectern and had one of those 'wardrobe' moments.

She pretty much nailed it. Economic growth is the key to staving off recession, low tax, light regulation, pro business, get the economy moving and revisit the polls in twelve months.
