So much of a 'champagne socialist' that when elected the first thing he did was to recommend to his members that his salary be reduced to £84k. They agreed. I don't remember the Times reporting on that though!

Boris Johnson wants to talk about his legacy. Okay, let’s talk about his legacy

47% of the total electorate - worth noting that if the principles of her mooted new referendum law applied here, her election would be invalid

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Summary of Nicola Sturgeon's announcements: ✅ Rent freeze until at least March 2023, for private and social tenants ✅ Temporary ban on evictions ✅ ScotRail fares frozen until March 2023 ✅ Scottish Child Payment rising to £25 ✅ Expansion of universal free school meals

More North Sea oil & gas - but no mention of renewables, no insulation, and no windfall tax - Liz Truss couldn’t have got this any more wrong. Does she not have a *clue* what got us into this crisis in the first place? #PMQs

Liz Truss' first act as PM is to oppose a windfall tax on the oil and gas giants making £170bn in excess profits. Instead, she wants the British people to foot the entire bill for her energy package. She stands up for the vested interests, not ordinary people.

Ahead of UK gov plan on energy bills: 1/ it must be an actual freeze - £2500 wouldn’t be. Current price cap £2000 (& that’s up 54% since Spring); 2/freeze must apply to businesses; 3/ paying for it mustn’t fall wholly on taxpayers/consumers - windfall tax must be part of mix.

To be clear - this policy change does not apply in Scotland. Fracking can only happen here if licences are issued by the Scottish Government and we do not intend to issue any licences.

From next April the 45% top rate of tax (applies to those earning £150,000) will be scrapped. So the top rate will be the 40% higher rate threshold. This means mega earners, pay the same rate as those on £50,000. #MiniBudget

The super wealthy laughing all the way to the actual bank (tho I suspect many of them will also be appalled by the moral bankruptcy of the Tories) while increasing numbers of the rest relying on food banks - all thanks to the incompetence and recklessness of this failed UK gov

UK in grip of rapidly deteriorating economic crisis. Emergency intervention by Bank of England to reduce damage of UK gov own policies extraordinary. Commons should be immediately recalled (where even is PM?) & as at least an initial symbol of sense, top tax rate abolition dumped

UK gov u-turns on top tax rate abolition because it’s a ‘distraction’. Morally wrong and hugely costly for millions is a better description. Utter ineptitude. Perhaps those who slammed Scottish Government for not immediately following suit should also be reflecting this morning…

Yet another curiosity of the 45pm U-turn – it was done *after* Liz Truss did a round of ITV regional interviews, but *before* the embargo on the interviews, meaning we now get to watch a series of TV clips of the PM defending a policy she has abandoned.

Whit? It’s just days since he was calling on the Scottish Gov to follow his Tory colleagues tax cuts for the richest. This guy just blows with the wind. 👎
