In a Westminster speech, the former Prime Minister said "I'm going to find it very difficult to vote for something like this myself because I believed we should've done something very different. No matter how much plaster came off the ceiling in Brussels

"I hope that it will work and I also hope that if it doesn't work we will have the guts to employ that (Northern Ireland Protocol) bill again because I have no doubt at all that is what brought the EU to negotiate seriously" 3/6
Three Prime Ministers in one year with #ConservativeParty members effectively disenfranchised from the process. Having voted for #borisjohnson and #liztruss we now have a Prime Minister rejected by members. 1/13
#democraticDOR is not against who leads our party so long as the members have their vote and endorse our leader. Any leader of our party needs the support of our membership. But it's not just a request it is our constitutional right! 2/13
Because that was what was promised by the William Hague reforms, which members backed and voted for! 3/13

🔵 NEW: #LizTruss will be entitled to claim up to £115,000 per year from the taxpayer for the rest of her life once she leaves office, despite likely being one of the shortest-serving prime ministers in history.

🪙 The Public Duties Cost Allowance allows former prime ministers to claim back money toward the cost of maintaining activities in public life.
Former PMs have claimed back millions through the scheme since it was set up in 1991 following the resignation of Margaret Thatcher.

Her name was Queen Liz (which was unfortunate) and she spoke with her ministers and told them she had a great idea.
“I have a great idea!” she said, “We are going to get all the peasants to work on an enormous pie!”, “Hooray!!!” they all shouted especially Jacob, the minister for considering people peasants.
I’m in #Prague for tomorrow’s 1st summit of the new #EuropeanPoliticalCommunity.
The 27 🇪🇺 leaders will be joined by #Truss, #Erdogan, #Zelensky & others.
The big question: what the hell is this thing? The answer depends on what happens tomorrow in a battle between 🇬🇧&🇫🇷. 🧵1/9

The idea is that this is a wider European bloc which will include countries not in the EU, either because they’re waiting to join, they don’t want to join, or they’ve left (🇬🇧).
But there are already such groupings, like the Council of Europe in Strasbourg and the OECD in Paris.

What’s the point of the EPC then?
The idea is that, unlike CoE & OECD, this will be a forum for heads of state and government to meet and discuss major issues.
Such leader meetings don’t happen in those other organisations.

We've reached the "rats in a sack" phase of this new #LizTruss UK Financial meltdown row. The 45% tax rate decision has been canned - and now it looks as if @KwasiKwarteng's deputy @CPhilpOfficial is the designated scapegoat.
Clearly someone had briefed against @CPhilpOfficial for this ^^ interview - suggesting that the idea of the cut to the tax rate had been presented to new PM @TrussLiz during her leadership campaign.
For her part @TrussLiz herself is saying that "it wasn't her idea".
For her part @TrussLiz herself is saying that "it wasn't her idea".
This seems a little vague. When it comes to ideas which are likely to assist one get seelected as a PM replacement among a group of 160,000 of well healed @Conservatives members, cutting their tax rate is definitely a "good idea".
For friends across the pond; also historians too ready to draw lines between books politicians claim to have read and those books' "influence" thereupon. Also #liztruss, the latter-day milk-snatcher who tells all and sundry of her "favorite historian": ME.

Herewith, THE HISTORY LESSON #LizTruss missed....
BREAK - Liz Truss *will* be attending the 1st summit of the #EuropeanPoliticalCommunity in Prague next week.
In fact, 🇬🇧 now fully on board to JOIN this European community and wants to host the 2nd meeting (!?!)
An astonishing u-turn.

🧵 1) The Pound hits a record low, the cost of living crisis worsens, £billions are added to the National Debt. The UK MSM would be apoplectic and baying for blood if this happened under any Labour Govt.

2) Tory Cabinet Ministers & cronies with investments in UK Hedge funds have reportedly made a fortune "shorting the pound" ahead of profligate tax cuts proposed by UK PM #LizTruss and her Treasurer, Chancellor #KwasiKwarteng. This is corruption on a huge scale.
3) Prime Minister #LizTruss hosted a dinner for hedge fund managers shortly before her spending plans sparked a selling frenzy in sterling and gilts. “They were all supporters of Truss and every one of them was shorting the pound,” said a prominent source.
Just catching up on #minibudget2022 ramifications: if businesses aren't "on their feet" #KwasiKwarteng might there be a correlation with a 10 year Tory rule? Or do you & @trussliz @BrineMP & @ReesMogg & all your colleagues abrogate your responsibilities? #GeneralElectionNow
#KwasiBudget trickle-down "advocates for a lower tax burden on the upper end of the economic spectrum". Economist John Kenneth Galbraith called it horse & sparrow: "If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows."

2/The first indication of a far-right presence in anti-vax groups was links to the Workers of England Union in Feb 2021. Run by Robin Tillbrook - leader of the English Democrats Party, they offered legal representation for ppl whose refusal to vaccinate had cost them their jobs.
3/ Tillbrook has a longstanding professional connection to Mark Collett - leader of the far right group Patriotic Alternative.
Expect lots of warnings today from #TeamRishi about the cost of higher interest rates as the Bank of England (#BoE) hikes.
Three counters...
1. The #tax cuts proposed by #LizTruss are unlikely to have any significant impact on #inflation (they could even help to reduce it)...

1. The #tax cuts proposed by #LizTruss are unlikely to have any significant impact on #inflation (they could even help to reduce it)...
2. It's #TeamRishi that's playing at 'fairytale economics' if they think the current ultra-low level of interest rates is normal, healthy or sustainable (most economists agree that fiscal policy is too tight - largely due to #Rishi's tax hikes - and monetary policy is too loose)
3. It is at least right to worry that rising short-term interest rates will add to the cost of public debt. But this simply strengthens the case for the government to lengthen the maturity of borrowing to lock in low rates - as #LizTruss has proposed!
#trussonomics

Fyi, no serious economist - including Patrick Minford - would think that £30-£40 billion of tax cuts would mean UK interest rates have to rise to 7%... 🙄

#RishiSunak #LizTruss #LeadersDebate
Ps. here's what #Minford actually said... 👇
(Most economists agree that UK interest rates are unsustainably low. In my view, the neutral rate would now be much lower than past norms of 5-7%. But Minford did NOT say that #Truss's tax cuts would raise them to 7%.)

pps. and since then (in a piece for the Mail), #Minford has clarified that he thinks the neutral rate is now more like 2-4%... 🤓

It was also reported that two last-ditch attempts to halt the flight had been rejected, with the Home Office admitting that there is a risk the flight could be cancelled anyway, after legal challenges meant that fewer than 10 people are expected to board
theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/j…
theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/j…
A source told Playbook that, due to individual case challenges brought against the government, “just seven” people were due to board, and that an ongoing “legal merry go-round” could well mean the “removal of every single last person” from the flight.
