LIZ TRUSS : BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD E01 E27

Today, we discuss the continuing trials and tribulations of one Liz Truss as she desperately clings on to the floating log, that is the remainder of her political career!

Hunt’s summary to rescue Britain from the abyss, No cut in basic rate of income tax. Looks like a withdrawal of the unit cap on energy, i.e. no longer capped at £2,500. Truss has pedaled this policy as her centerpiece since winning the leadership.

What now for a political party that after twelve years in government, four different PM’s and at least six chancellors? With their support melting away, disastrous opinion polls, still refusing to accept that it is they that are destroying the credibility of UK PLC, when will they do the decent thing and call an election?

Will the British public forgive them and how long do they risk being in the political wilderness?

Former Bank of England Deputy Governor, Sir Charles Bean, says “It is disingenuous to say the UK’s economic issues are down to a global phenomenon” After everything that has taken place over the last two weeks, isn’t it about time that this government owns up to the charge of economic mis-management?

Truss’s mantra of growth, growth, growth, should now be replaced with “cut, cut, cut!

What now for a government, who’s manifesto, which delivered their last election victory, promising 50,000 more nurses, 20,000 more Police Officers and 50,000,000 more GP appointments, when the latest incarnation at number 11 Downing Street, is Jeremy Hunt, who’s talking more cuts? Where’s the mandate for this?
