Liz Truss tweeted about ‘stability’ and Susanna Reid’s blistering comeback was 10/10
As you’ll know by know the latest chancellor for a week or two Jeremy Hunt has binned the entirety of Liz Truss’s budget in probably the biggest economic handbrake turn the UK has ever seen.
Watch the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt’s statement outlining the measures being brought forward from the Medium-Term Fiscal Plan that will support fiscal sustainability.https://t.co/faGd6A9YVp pic.twitter.com/1MWp4Y2ewv

The PM (at the time we write this) was naturally putting a brave face on things, and while she hasn’t emerged from the Downing Street bunker, here’s what she had to say on Twitter.
The British people rightly want stability, which is why we are addressing the serious challenges we face in worsening economic conditions.
We have taken action to chart a new course for growth that supports and delivers for people across the United Kingdom. https://t.co/P3yglx6efZ

And it got no end of totally on-point replies.
Pathetic. https://t.co/txgvydoj1u

But Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid surely said it best.
The British people want stability so I launched unfunded tax cuts that spooked markets, risked pension funds, shot up interest rates, sacked the Chancellor and then reversed the whole plan including the guarantee to protect you from energy price rises. But – stability 👍🏼 https://t.co/5VhAvPk0je
