Liz Truss has been wittering on about her mini budget again – and these 19 clapbacks were exactly what she deserved
On the very day that the new chancellor, Rachel Reeves, will set out her plans at the Labour Conference, the ghost of budgets past popped up to try and make the case for fiscal decisions that knocked billions off the economy and ultimately led to her Downing Street tenure coming to a very premature end.
We refer, of course, to Liz Truss.

If you made it through that – congratulations. Whatever she was selling, people weren’t buying.

Liz Truss has evidently forgotten not just the reaction to her budget, but its contents. It didn’t include any of the structural reforms that she likes – it was just tens of billions of unfunded tax cuts. https://t.co/WaUniKrAAY

Liz Truss shows how the economic establishment got rid of her & created an economic doomloop.
Liz is standing to be leader of the Liz Truss Party.

Thankfully this lovely lady still wants to trickle down on us.

I see Liz Truss is defending the mini budget this morning. I’m sure Fred West was very proud of his patios.
