I blame the ‘pressure’ of having a pair of complete imbeciles as Prime Minister and Chancellor. #Trussterfuck https://t.co/UfanudNsmZ

Fed up with blaming Labour, Kwarteng now blames the Queen for dying and ruining Britain

New excuse dropped for not getting anything done last month. If your boss complains, just say it worked for the chancellor of the exchequer.https://t.co/SZBHFiPM2m

Oh, my.

KamiKwasi Kwarteng has actually blamed the queen for his budget catastrophe.

These people really don't want to get any votes at all in the next election, do they?#CPC22 #C4News pic.twitter.com/iAqe15VRZS

Alastair Campbell, who knows his way around a ministerial statement, had some advice.

I wonder if Kamikwazi’s latest imbecilic statement, citing “pressure of the Queen’s death” as a factor in his mini Budget car crash, might mean the broadcasters finally show clips of his bizarre conduct at her funeral. Ps a bit of free advice to him/Truss. Stop. Doing. Interviews

For the sake of the value of the pound, we hope he takes it.
