The comments made by Michelle Donelan, the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on Twitter on 14 October 2022.
Prime Minister Liz Truss has listened and acted decisively today to ensure that our vitally important plan to protect jobs and grow the economy goes ahead. We must come together and focus on delivering.
The comments made by James Cleverly, the Foreign Secretary, on Twitter on 14 October 2022.
The PM is right that growing the economy is the best way to secure the UK’s economic stability.
We will get through this storm. She’s right about that.
We’ll deliver the high growth, high wage economy that gets Britain moving.
The comments by Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the Secretary of State for Transport, on Twitter on 14 October 2022.
This Government will continue to deliver in the National Interest. To #GetBritainMoving & grow our economy, we’ve accelerated more than 100 infrastructure projects across the country. Working closely with Jeremy Hunt will continue to get shovels in the ground.
The comments made by Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Business Secretary, on Twitter on 14 October 2022.
The Prime Minister has acted decisively to provide the economic stability our country needs.
As a government, we must now get on and deliver the pro-growth reforms that will lay the foundations for our future prosperity.
The statement made by Liz Truss, the Prime Minister, on 14 October 2022.
As Prime Minister, I will always act in the national interest.
Growing the economy remains our mission, ensuring people can get good jobs, new businesses can flourish and families can afford an even better life.
The comments made by David Lammy, the Labour MP for Tottenham, on Twitter on 14 October 2022.
Liz Truss went missing for days after her mini- budget and she just ran off stage as quickly as possible after her Press Conference. We really cannot have a Prime Minister who’s palpably scared, confused and out of touch. We need a General Election now.
The comments made by Bernard Jenkin, the Conservative MP for Harwich and North Essex, on Twitter on 14 October 2022.
The appointment of Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor is a wise choice. He is trusted and respected across Parliament. We must now be calm. Rash talk of ditching the PM, or calls for a general election, will not calm the financial markets.
The comments made by Therese Coffey, the Deputy Prime Minister, on 14 October 2022.
The PM is right to act now to ensure our country’s economic stability – key for families and businesses – and reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline, especially in light of the worsening global economic conditions with Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
The comments made by Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister, on Twitter on 14 October 2022.
The best thing Liz Truss could do for economic stability now is resign. Her decisions have crashed the economy and heaped misery on people already struggling with a cost of living crisis.
The only decent thing for Tory MPs to do now is call time on her govt and allow an election
The comments made by Caoimhe Archibald, Sinn Fein’s Economic Spokesperson, on 14 October 2022.
The Tories are now on their fourth Chancellor in four months as the fall-out of the reckless ‘mini-budget’ has resulted in Kwasi Kwarteng getting the sack.
For the past three weeks since the announcement of the ‘mini-budget’ there has been utter chaos which will punish ordinary workers, families and businesses by pushing up mortgages and hiking business borrowing costs.
It has been clear for some time that Liz Truss and the Tory government needs to scrap this plan, end their shameless policy of lining the pockets of the rich and halt the attack on our public services.
Instead, they should support workers, families and small businesses who are struggling and introduce a windfall tax to cut the eye-watering profits of the big energy corporations.
