“What our Budget has delivered is security for families for the next two winters. It has made sure we will see higher economic growth, lower inflation and more opportunities. The way we are going to get our country growing is through more jobs, more growth and more opportunities, not through higher taxes, higher spending and his friends in the unions stopping hard-working people getting to work” – Prime Minister Liz Truss (12.10.2022).
Today’s Prime Minister Questions in the House of Commons has truly exposed Prime Minister Liz Truss. If your reading the Hansard alone… you know things aren’t going smooth. Prime Minister Truss wasn’t answering questions with credibility. The short amount of time her reign has been and this PMQ only proves how inept she is.
This is really striking as she was taking over for the corrupt and incompetent Boris Johnson. It should be easy to be better and start to deliver campaign promises of 2019. However, Liz Truss cannot do that and only can go rogue.
It is clear that Keir Stramer and Ian Blackford is exposing her lack of responsibility. They must be giddy that she’s the current PM. Truss is answering Blackford about lack of building nuclear power plants, when Blackford was raising the bar about rising prices on mortgages. That just shows how inept she is and thinks she can bamboozle everyone.
The Prime Minister should reconsider the “mini-budget” or the biscotti, but she doesn’t seem concerned about the consequences in the gilt market. Neither the rising mortgages or the costs of living in general. People are getting saved by a thread by the energy prices, but destroyed by inflation and rising mortgages prices. If not they companies or funds securing their pensions are crashing. So, the PM should have had some cleverness and ability to answer for her choices.
The PM is still instead saying stuff like this: “We in the Conservative party understand who pays our wages—it is the people who get up every day to go to work and the businesses that are set up. Those are the people driving our economy and we will be unashamedly pro-growth, pro-business and pro-opportunity” (Truss, 12.10.2022).
She isn’t helping herself or her cause. If she is afraid of internal squabble or dagger in the 1922 Committee. The PM hasn’t been her long and she’s not creating any sort of stability. Neither is there any promise in her words. This is burning down the shop and hoping nobody is noticing the dumpster-fire. That’s how she’s acting and it’s not a good look…
This PMQ was brutal. I have seen plenty and read lots of Hansards over the years. This was just a waste and Truss seems out of order.
It doesn’t help with this final quote either: “I think the last thing we need is a general election” (Truss, 12.10.2022).
Nothing gives her an edge and neither is there any promise. It is just utterly disgraceful. As the PM she should stand up and be responsible. Instead, she is trying to overshadow her own actions and what her chancellor has done. It has all backfired… and Truss cannot even stand tall and face the music.
Truss just wants the dance, but don’t know what to do when the music stops. Peace.
