Kwasi Kwarteng claims he told Liz Truss to"slow down" after the market crashing mini-budget was announced.
However, he refused to apologise for what happened, saying instead:"Looking back, I think we could have had a much more measured approach."on Twitter, and said that when he arrived at Number 10, Ms Truss was"distressed and emotional".Asked by presenter Tom Newton Dunn what went wrong, the MP said:"So I think we tried to do too much too quickly. Too much, too fast. I think the strategic goal was right.
However, he admitted he did not tell Ms Truss that at the time, telling the programme:"Well, I said actually after the budget that because we were going very fast even after the mini-budget we were going at breakneck speed. And I said, 'You know, we should slow down, slow down'. The long-term political ally was brought into the Treasury by Ms Truss as her first cabinet appointment after winning the Conservative leadership contest over the summer.in the Commons that sent the markets into a tailspin.
"I disagreed obviously, because I thought that if chancellors are sacked by the prime minister for doing what the prime minister campaigned on, that leaves the prime minister in a very weak position. And a number of people have said to me, 'I knew when she'd sack you that it was over'."
Kamikaze K-wartend should have had the blls to never have accepted the job in the first place. He simply wasn’t up to it, I hope like this government his time in politics is over.
Where is your loyalty?
Another “not my fault”
Not as concerned as I was about the hit to my pension fund. Still, MPs have a platinum plated pension, so it would not affect him a jot. His friend Crispin Odey must have been delighted at the turn of events. Just how did he know to bet against the UK?
BBCNews Channel4News itvnews Didn't even know there was a Talk TV! Why didn't you resign or go public? Though it has to be admitted that she was elected by the clueless Tory faithfuls with that economic agenda!
Anyone believe him 😂😂
And still they lie What is it with theses Tories and lies? Do they really honestly believe the public are that stupid to believe this nonsense. They're like children trying to make an excuse and writng their own dodgy letter tovthe teacher because they didn't do their homework!
Another example of a detestabletory
Throwing Truss under the bus! Who would have thought?
In hindsight I now realise I was wrong so will try and pin it all on dizzy Lizzie.
And yet…. KwasiKwarteng … you didn’t simply say “no”
He certainly did not show any concern or remorse and should never hold a ministerial post again even within this catastrophic Tory government of narcissistic rogues.
