Your witless bash at fiscal wizardry propelled my mortgage from £900/month to £2,000
u almost collapsed the entire Pensions sector
And now u have the gall to sit there & belch about how it was everyone else’s fault that they couldn’t see your genius?
Honestly get in the sea.

“I have written about that time I increased everyone’s mortgage payments by several thousand pounds a year, tanked their pension funds and fucked the national currency to its lowest level since Black Wednesday, and how this was everybody’s fault but mine.”

Hold on – wasn’t it those pesky free markets – that she champions – reacting in horror to £45 billion in unfunded tax cuts? That led to surge in cost of borrowing, near collapse of pension industry, and more costly mortgages for all of us. Didn’t Liz Truss bring Liz Truss down? pic.twitter.com/Sbb86tyLSY

Like Cilla she brought us lovely surprises.
Like Mary Berry she grew juicy pies that trickled down us.
Like Princess Di she was our Queen of ❤️s.
But like Boudicca, Liz Truss was BETRAYED by an anti growth coalition of tofu stained bankers, teachers & soccer players.
So so sad.😞 pic.twitter.com/3OTYPmZATL— Sir Michael Take CBE (@MichaelTakeMP) February 5, 2023

The main thing I’ve learnt from @trussliz article is she’s paranoid, refuses to take responsibility for her actions, thinks most of the Tory party are lily livered pinkos and has no self-awareness or compassion for others. Oh – and the Tories are hopelessly divided.

John Profumo, who did not crash the economy, spent decades after his fall from power helping poor people in the East End. Liz Truss, who did crash the economy, waits six months and fancies another crack. pic.twitter.com/tbZHJ2V3iJ

Economist Danny Blanchflower voiced the consensus.
My main conclusion from this is that it is important that Truss is never allowed to hold any sort of job that has to do with economics or thinking https://t.co/Hu6hx6SbUZ
