Simon Clarke – 2022 Statement on the Performance of Liz Truss in the House of Commons

The statement made by Simon Clarke, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

Really good performance from Liz Truss at PMQs. While Sir Keir tried to crack jokes, she landed the key point: mistakes have been made but this is a world where interest rates are rising everywhere as central banks combat the inflation caused by Putin’s horrific war.
