Both Conservative Party leadership rivals have clashed over how best to manage the cost of living crisis.

Liz Truss started this weekend telling the Financial Times newspaper she wanted to help people with the cost of living by lowering the tax burden, rather than through handouts.

In fact, Ms Truss's flagship tax cut – her National Insurance reversal – would be of most help to the highly paid. How they fund this assistance while also delivering tax cuts and navigating a recession is another issue.if she wins the race for Number 10, adding that she would call for an emergency budget and tackle the cost of living crisis by"reversing the rise on National Insurance".

In an attack on Mr Sunak's plans, she told reporters during a campaign visit to the West Midlands on Saturday:"Having the highest taxes for 70 years is not going to deliver that economic growth, and it's leading our country to a recession."

He corrupt as everyone is people silly come on stop being sucked in by this comedian. Reish hasn’t done nothing wife Russian connections where the USA green card comes from not sure

Again stop moaning about getting no fuel and also stop raising prices of fuel when you can get it else where só why we demanding on Russia ? Please explain from an experienced background in oil why get it from Russia

sky nudes once again blasting utter pish, as if anybody cares which cretin wins this so called contest.

Is it pay the rich more and the poor less?

Here’s a clue Vote Labour

Best way to manage the so called media cost of living crisis is to have another Summer holiday and forget about all the media scaremongering!

The likelihood is that neither will manage it anywhere near good enough. The rich will continue to get richer and the poor poorer.

English Nationalists terrified of an Independent England

She bashed my union so screw her

Why would Sky repeat this awful “drivel” … 😧

I think I'll misinterpret my next energy bill

Copy the french.

.trussliz seems to get misinterpreted an awful lot. Maybe her message is too ambiguous?

Mary Mary quite contrary ...

She seems to get misinterpreted a lot…. Seriously is this the best the Tory party has? GeneralElectionNow

Perhaps she should take some English lessons….or stop lying 🤷‍♂️

amazing how often she is misinterpreted, it's almost like she is constantly talking bllocks?

Cutting tax won’t help the poorest but reinstating the top rate bracket the removed to pacify their wealthy supporters might. Cutting NI will just strangle the NHS further. Why can’t we have knowledgable and capable Ministers for once?

No. She’s just that stupid

Yet again. We are in for a real shitshow in the months ahead before the eventual General Election.

Not again. You can't trust a single thing she says. Earlier today old Penny Pugwash was on LBC telling us that she had also been misinterpreted or misunderstood about getting rid of all EU laws. Nobody knows what she intends. Our next PM- God Help Us

It’s amazing how many times she’s been misinterpreted. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She’s not the sharpest tack in the box

Johnson on steriods.

Another U turn on a policy drawn up on cigarette packet.

Are we seriously suggesting that this is going to be the UK's foremost spokesperson on the world stage? Someone whose use of language is so poor she's constantly being 'misrepresented'? Forget the climate crisis, Loose-tongued Liz with have the planet burning even sooner.

again? two faced , incompetent liar more like

It seems that she and her policies are being misinterpreted almost daily. She says (a lot) that she is clear, wouldn’t it be nice if she actually was.

Hahaha she must be speaking another language...

Handouts of money paid by ourselves in tax etc?

Seems to be making this misrepresentation thing a bit of a habit?

Poor Dizzy she’s always being misinterpreted, why’s that?

She does seem to br misinterpreted alot firstly the public sector pay cuts across the UK which she actually back years ago and now this

Sky news the Channel of Liz Truss

Maybe she should just keep her gob shut

Because she has to constantly correct,withdraw, contradict,deny,or otherwise explain her views,its evident that she is muddled with her thinking & presentation. That’s no good if she wants to be leader of a country.trussliz should withdraw now for her own good & for the country

All lies.

F...F...S... If you're explaning you're losing... this is going to be an unmitigated disaster...

This is becoming a regular occurrence. Liz4Leader opens her mouth & out pours a load knee jerk dog whistle word soup nonsense that she inevitably has to row back, because it’s utter nonsense. But it’s not her we’ve all misinterpreted or misrepresented what she said !

Liz Truss has a communication problem stemming from her lack of detail - everytime she announces something it needs to be either back tracked or explained again - not PM material just yet IMO

Her remarks seem to be misinterpreted a lot. Either she needs to be clearer, or she changes her mind according to public opinion 🤔 🙄

Don't know about 'the Lady isn't for turning.' More like spinning Lizzy.

gaslighting

🤡

Seems to be a lot of ‘misinterpreting’ going on 🤔🤔🤔

What, again? She’s really unlucky. Or incompetent.

Turns out she’s not ‘absolutely clear’ on pretty much everything

Is it appropriate for someone who so consistently speaks in such a way that she is misunderstood to be Prime Minister?

By the sounds of it, she is at great risk of getting misrepresented by other world leaders during delicate negotiations to me. Imagine the possible consequences.

Maybe Boris Johnson wasn't so bad after all...

This seems to happen a lot to her

If someone is misinterpreted all the time, it’s possible that they are telling lies. Or in Truss’s case, porkies.

The empty vessel that is trussliz, 'misinterpreted' again I see. 🤔

No.

Tories are Completely out of touch with the average working person ! ToriesOut

She seems to hide behind she's being misinterpreted alot these days, using the word 'handouts' denotes a negative view point towards financial life lines that are helping millions during the cost of living crisis. Handouts are the unneeded donations & monetary perks of MPs.

We seem to misinterpret a LOT of what she says MANY times. Are we misinterpreting or is she walking her statements back? Does she say what she means & then when people don't like it is she walking it back? I think she walks back her statements MOST of the times.

‘Misinterpreted’ in Tory speak just means “I can’t justify what I mean so the issue must be with you” Where are the heavyweight politicians these days who can argue their point?

Every time she fucks up, she’s misinterpreted 😂😂 GE on the horizon. Thank God

Seems to get misinterpreted quite a lot. Maybe she hasn’t a clue what gibberish she’s coming out with.

SandraDunn1955 She makes changes like she's a 'Whirling Dervish' (hope that's not now considered racist.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

💩💩💩💩💩

🥱

Wasn't she misinterpreted about the 'lower wages for civil servants' policy too? Becoming a habit.

This is absolutely not true - Truss’ outrageous remarks on cutting public sector pay we’re reported accurately and quite rightly resoundingly derided, which resulted in a Johnsonian U-turn.

Chinny reckon

Again? To be ‘misinterpreted’ once…

What again?

Another weather vane PM incoming. Joy!

Another misrepresentation? Johnson = Lies Truss = Misrepresentation Result….the same trussliz Conservatives

Say whatever you like, preferably awful If they get mad just pretend you never said it Repeat

Ahhh ohhh dear Lizzy is getting herself in a tizzy, she must be dizzy.

Both getting 'Misinterpreted' a lot for people who want to be prime minister, Its not a good look, Maybe they arent as clever as they think they are .

Honk and the World Honks with you

Hang on I thought what we saw is what we got or at least that's what she said 🤔

Again

Welcome to Conservatives 2022, where you can listen the actual words of an elected MP and yet be told that’s not what was said. The saddest thing is that a significant proportion of the population believe it. That is what Brexit has brought us, similar indoctrination.

Shame everyone didn't set up their own PPE company

Always misinterpreted, isn't she?

For a top line politican and potential PM she doesn't half seem to get her words misinterpreted a lot.

She's Boris Johnson, but she doesn't have the persona of Boris, who'd come off as a drunk bumbling away to distract you from his incompetence.

So she's not good at explaining herself then?

UnTrussworthy

I doubt she was misinterpreted

Ohhh she was interpreted just fine

How many times can someone be misrepresented in such a short space of time? Either they’re fucking thick and keep forgetting their left from their right or they’re testing the water to see which shit policy they can get away with…..

Again!! 🤣
