You can see why I thought this guy was the ideal choice for a role that includes "ensuring the UK remains at the leading edge of science, research and innovation".
Surely there's no getting past the political decision to protect the epic, unprecedented profits of the energy companies & make voters pick up the bill? I confess I don't understand Truss's calculation here, even with client journalists preparing to cheer it to the rafters.
So the government gives just three hours to a debate on a massive announcement affecting the whole country today and refuses to give the opposition or other MPs any details before it starts. Pretty poor treatment of parliament yet again. Nothing changes.
Starmer's completely destroyed Truss today, and nobody's been more helpful to him than Kwasi Kwarteng. Incredible. Even her braindead 2019-intake backbenchers will have noticed.
The windfall tax will either be the first U-turn of Truss’s premiership or the first disaster. The tax was highly popular with the public before, which is why Johnson U-turned on it. Why would voters accept energy companies creaming off billions to be paid for by their kids?
