Politics
When the growing gets Truss, the Truss gets going
Short and not at all sweet.
Here we go!

PM Liz – My conviction that the country needs to go for growth is rooted in my own experience, I grew up in the hood, I know what it’s like.
I’ve wanted families to have a better life, that’s why I’ve wanted to ‘go for growth’.
We’ve been held back with low growth since 2008
I want to ‘go for growth’ (really trying to make it stick)
That’s why 100,000 pensioners (sorry Tory members) picked me
People want stability, that’s why we helped with energy costs
Putin’s war caused further issues, also Covid pandemic cost a lot.
It is clear that parts of our mini budget went further and faster than markets expected
We need to act now
I have decided to keep the increase in corporation tax. It’ll raise £81bn.
We will do whatever is necessary to ensure debt is falling in medium term
We will control the size of the state
Public sector will become more efficient
Spending will grow less rapidly
I sacked Kwasi, terribly sad, he’s a good egg
Jeremy Hunt is new Chancellor, very experienced, well liked, shares my vision
He will deliver medium-term fiscal plan later this month and outline support for peoples ad business
We owe it to the next generation to improve the mess our gov has created over the last 12 years
As PM I will also act in national interest, mega lolz
It is difficult, but we will get through this storm.
Questions
Telegraph – Clearly a difficult day, why should you stay on?
Liz – I’m determined to see through what I’ve promised, higher growth, see us through the storm
Looks Around Confused
Sun – You wanted to cut 45p rate, and corporation tax, you and Kwasi designed the budget in secret, he has to go, why don’t you?
Liz – Copy and paste response about economic responsibility, committed to delivering
BBC – Excuse my bluntness, what credibility do you have?
Liz – What I have done is made sure we have economic stability, Hunt shares my desire for high growth, low tax economy
We have to deliver the mission in a different way, that’s what we’ll do
Robert Pestle? Ah Peston, ITV – Phil Hammond said you trashed Tory’s winning formula, will you apologise?
Liz – I am repeating what I said earlier about high growth economy
Country needs long term footing for economy growth
Cheers, Liz out.
Hack Pack in unison- Aren’t you going to say sorry?
