The only action needed for the country is for you and your chancellor to resign

Those words again 🙄

Truss is too busy living her millionaire lifestyle with the help of the taxpayers and we should really put up a fight about the amount of cars we’re paying for to run them around.

Councillorsuzie Decisive but intelligent!!!

Weaker pound means more exports leading too a growing economy,yes its gonna be a bumpy ride and from the offset she said that there wud be decisions made that would anger alot of ppl but if this works then the UK will again become the powerhouse of Europe.

We need a revolution in this country,if they don’t listen,we all take to the streets,Haven’t you had enough of this bullshit that has been going on for far to long.There all puppets owned by there puppet masters the elites.

Ah…, now I get it!!! “Levelling up”..99% of the country will starve whilst 1% will thrive..fair dos!!!!

Stay strong Liz..you are right we need to grow the economy now..

Decisive action by the Bank of England mitigated her damaging decision.

'Decisive' doesn't mean good or strong or smart. Britain can't afford many more of Truss's 'Decisive' pratfalls.

Stop sending money to Ukraine and you'll save loads of money

Truss's decisive action is robbing the poor to support the rich.

She is a disaster to UK. Time will tell it.

Jesus Christ

With a straight face!?

What really grates is if Putin gets trigger happy with his nukes this bitch will survive.
