#kwarteng — Public Fediverse posts

At the end of the interview, Stewart sums up by saying "you get the sense that [#Kwarteng] is very clever". I didn't. I got the sense that he was rather stupid, rather shallow, rather trivial; but very posh.

And I think that the problem at the heart of UK parliamentary politics is that they mistake a posh accent for intelligence.

I've been listening to the second half of The Rest Is Politics interview with #Kwarteng, and my take away is what TRIVIAL people everyone involved is. Kwarteng is supposed to be one of the intellects of the #Tory party, but they can none of them – not Kwarteng, not Campbell, not even Stewart – string two concepts together.

Leading: 74. Kwasi Kwarteng: Liz Truss, becoming Chancellor, and Britain on the brink (Part 2)

Suprise, suprise…even with a 18,393 majority and sitting in a constituency that has only voted Labour once in past 100 years, Kwasi #Kwarteng is standing down at next election.

But how much work has he actually done for his constituency since his mini-budget that crashed the economy and has been paid for by those with mortgages ever since?

Not much…too busy doing media appearances and landing himself greenwashing gigs with Australian iron ore companies.

#DidoHarding wasted £37bn in two years - what happened to it all?

#Truss and #Kwarteng wasted £74bn in an afternoon - why aren’t they on trial?

Yesterday evidence was produced showing Kwarteng was told exactly what his 'mini-budget' would do by OBR. But he did it anyway.

If #Johnson, #Truss & #Kwarteng had any sense of morality they would hand back the money paid to them when their Govt collapsed. These characters have financially crippled many UK families, shame seems to be a word they don't understand. https://tinyurl.com/3yuan3zx #ToryCorruption

#Aitkens is on #BBCLaurak saying we have high inflation because of increased employment levels.

[How does that work then 🤔 ]

Earlier on #Ridge she blamed the high inflation on our reliance on a grid to supply gas.

[Huh? 🤔 ]

By the end of the day, she may say it was the failure of Mae Muller to win the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.

#KWARTENG !!!

#Atkins, the Treasury's Financial Secretary says on #Ridge that the UK is, "Spending 120 Billion pounds a year on debt interest."

We have George #Osborne to thank for that as he lost us the triple A rating and then #Kwarteng....

The Conservatives were never the party of Fiscal Responsibility

Again, no reason for the PM who hit the ground (with an almighty thud) to have power to stack the Lords. But for #Truss to make Mark #Littlewood a peer (he’s secretive, self-interested, Brexit pushing, #IEA member of Tufton Street who incubated Kwasi #Kwarteng ‘s economy-crashing budget) well, the argument for #reform of the #Lords just got that bit LOUDER.

8 September I gave a lecture to #Treasury civil servants and wrote to #Kwarteng personally. To claim that the government was not warned of the #Budget risks is misleading. Be cynical of the rest of #Truss's article.

@philwaring

I wish you British where less nervous and more realist.

The ERG/UKIP-ideology was put to the test by #Kwarteng and #Truss.
Whoever are in government now have to try other alternatives.

And this means seeking to unravel "aspects of Boris Johnson’s deal."

But you seem to forget that neither #Labour, nor #Starmer himself, have much leverage in negotiations with the 27 neighbors.

Seeing Starmer as a traitor, because he isn't a magician, is plain stupidity

#Brexit

CONs crash the #Economy then make us pay for it.

Accountability means that CONs need to be charged for

- corrupt PPE contracts,
- wasted £ on T&T
- #RishiSunak incompetence
- inadequate safeguards against COVID fraud
- #Truss #Kwarteng Budget farce
