Oh do f*** off. £2500 is a fortune for a lot of people. Not to mention the businesses that don’t have that protection and will either lay people off or go bust.

Tory’s: Plough the whole f***ing lot of them into a pit.

 

[A1X]

This lot really do need putting out of their misery now, frankly. It's a total shambles. And the worst thing is as the Government they're dragging us all down the plughole with them.

 

[nicko31]

Truss getting punchlines from Sarah Palin, seems about right...

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Uturns against Uturns. Does anyone know what they're doing? Or is that the plan?

 

[sparkie]

Every time she opens her mouth.

 

[Audax]

I have read the document in full now and can find no reference to any "immunity". More of a stitch-up to keep her there which suits me fine! I wouldn't want to give the Tories an opportunity to elect a leader who might just have a bit of a clue what they are doing. The longer she drags it out, the greater the opportunity for the Tories to get a total beasting at the GE which should keep them out of power and away from the economy for a generation.

It's been reported on an awful lot by the press (the 12 month immunity), so can only assume it's true.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Hunt was nodding when she said it

If (and other than Beth Rigby and Robert Peston) I haven't see any other sources in the 20 mins since, Truss is making up policy on the fly, and after all her 'planned' policies didn't go so well

what else can he do, stomp out

Nick Robinson too

I am not convinced she is making it up on the hoof. Steve Baker on Politics Live said all ministers received the news to keep the triple lock prior to PMQ's.

Clearly making commitments on pensions without taking to her boss at no.11

Not only is 2500 pounds an awful lot for most of us, but the chancellor whilst trying to calm markets, is doing nothing to calm middle income earning families such as mine. Already facing pretty crippling costs to support our kids in uni, the higher utility bills have brought us and many others to the brink. To hear them repeating that mantra about the energy price whilst the chancellor tells us only the most vulnerable will be protected from April is very nerve racking. If our bills are on average 4500 pounds next year, we are completely unable to afford that and I believe many millions of others who were not traditionally well off but at least had a bit of hard earned money, will be completely bankrupted by any further increases.

Well maybe it's changed since Cleverly was sent out to bat this morning ?

Almost certainly. Probably some cunning plan to try to make her look good

 

[sparkie]

Nick Robinson too

It's sounding like she just made it up on the spot because of the pressure of the question.

This has to stop.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Lisa Nandy is destroying Steve Baker on PL now re interest rates.

 

[beorhthelm]

Every time she opens her mouth.

teenie bit dishonest posting at that time, most of the fall was overnight. $ strength again.

 

[Audax]

Sajid Javid didn't put his question in because ... well, still doesn't reflect well on #10!

 

[KZNSeagull]

If you want to hear Steve Baker banging on about every government since 1911 living beyond their means and the repercussions, watch the last 15 minutes of Politics Live. Rather enlightening

 

[Icy Gull]

Starmer is a such a sarcastic dick head, look forward to seeing he copes as PM which looks inevitable. Zero confidence in him personally, unpleasant smug man always sniping and no redeeming features at all imo.

I am not a fan of Liz Truss btw.

Rock and a hard place
