Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth says Liz Truss making a speech on how to save the economy is like a scene out of the BBC comedy ‘The Thick of It’. The shadow paymaster general says, “you couldn’t make it up, she’s also writing a book called 10 Years to Save the West, this is after she spent 44 days trashing the UK economy”. Report by Blairm.

00:00 You couldn't make it up.
00:01 She's also writing a book called 10 Years to Save the West.
00:05 This is after she spent 44 days, I think it was,
00:08 trashing the UK economy.
00:10 It's just unbelievable.
00:11 It's like something from the thick of it.
00:13 Look, in the end, what we need is a government
00:16 on the side of working families,
00:18 making our economy more prosperous.
00:19 But in the moment, we've got inaction man Rishi Sunak,
00:22 who's allowing mortgages to go up,
00:24 but tax up, I think, 24 times.
00:26 The highest tax burden since the war.
00:29 We've got schools with the roofs crumbling.
00:31 The NHS waiting list's at what, 7 million, over 7 million now?
00:35 And he can't stop the boats, even though he promised to.
00:38 I think in the end, after 13 years,
00:40 they've had their chance,
00:41 and we need to change the government.
