“I do not think the right hon. Gentleman can take yes for an answer. I have been clear that we are protecting the triple lock on pensions. If he is concerned about the economy, why does he continue to advocate for separatism, which would plunge the Scottish economy into chaos?” – Prime Minister Liz Truss (19.10.2022).
The current Prime Minister in United Kingdom isn’t able to raise any confidence in her cause. Prime Minister Liz Truss who haven’t been the PM for longer than 43 days at this point. She has already sacked and appointed her second Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
PM Truss certainly met hostile PMQ. Truss was already under fire not only for her methods of keeping financial stability and sound policies that her cabinet has unleashed. The “Mini-Budget” has caused affects or issues that will last long. The PM should know this and her changing Chancellor isn’t mending this. Especially, when she’s U-Turning all the time. That’s what she did during her campaign for the office too and everyone just laughed. Now it is happening with vital financial implications and she isn’t creating any stability.
One minute the PM is against something and another minute she’s supporting it. In the morning she will freeze pensions and in the afternoon she will triple lock pensions. Therefore… Truss is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. You cannot keep up and her twisting tongue isn’t doing anyone any good. Secondly, she’s not even a trustworthy or a good liar. Boris could at least lie with a straight face, but Truss has blinking eyes. There is obvious mismatch between what she says and what she wants to do…
Just read these answers to legit questions today…
“My hon. Friend is absolutely right; we will abolish the top-down housing targets. We want decisions about homes and infrastructure to be driven by local people, not by Whitehall, and that is why we are setting up new, locally driven investment zones” (Truss, 19.10.2022).
“We do face very difficult economic times. I have been honest about the mistakes I have made, but what I do not apologise for is the fact that we have helped households through this winter with the energy price guarantee, the fact that we have reversed the national insurance rise and the fact that we are taking action to get our railways running rather than being disrupted by the militant trade unions that the hon. Lady supports” (Truss, 19.10.2022).
“We are facing very, very difficult economic times. I took the decision I had to in the interests of economic stability. What is important is that we work together, including with the SNP, to get through this winter and grow the economy” (Truss, 19.10.2022).
The PM clearly goes back and fourth on policies. It is like she’s winging it at any given time and hoping no one follows up on. The pensions are the latest here. Neither has the prices on mortgages gone down. The promise of the gilt market hasn’t ceased either. The uncertainty in the leadership and how it operates isn’t building trust between the government and the financial markets. That’s why the Chancellor should be stressed. However, his term might be short and his maybe ending up elsewhere later. So, his maybe just awaiting the next Prime Minister and hoping for a new plum-job.
This PMQ was defensive and deafening. The definition of failure and last resort attempt to look genuine. She must surely fear the 1922 Committee and Sir Graham Brady MP. His shadow must linger over her and haunt her in her sleep. Truss MP and PM is failing and not helping her cause.
Today wasn’t anything better and sooner or later this is finally imploding. Peace.
