Liz Truss Accused Of 'Trying To Rewrite History' Over Latest Attempt To Defend Mini-Budget
Liz Truss just won't let it go.Liz Truss has been accused of “trying to rewrite history” over her latest attempt to defend her disastrous mini-Budget.The former prime minister bizarrely claimed that the resulting spike in interest rates and fall in the value of the pound was a “confected crisis that the establishment used to sabotage my policies”.Truss’s chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, unveiled plans for £45 billion-worth of unfunded tax cuts, sparking an economic crash which saw her kicked out of No.10 after just 49 days.Nevertheless, the ex-Tory leader has repeatedly claimed that she was really the victim of an establishment plot.That is despite the fact that even her former colleagues now acknowledge that her time in office was a disaster.Keir Starmer will today accuse Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of emulating Truss after he also announced that he would introduce to £80bn-worth of tax cuts if he becomes prime minister.The PM will say: “Farage is making the exact same bet Liz Truss did – that you can spend tens of billions on tax cuts without a proper way of paying for it.”Responding to Starmer on X, Truss said: “Repeating lies is not going to fix the economy Keir Starmer.“Gilt rates are now higher than when I was in office. Britain is headed for a real economic crisis – not the confected crisis that the establishment used to sabotage my policies.”Repeating lies is not going to fix the economy @Keir_Starmer.Gilt rates are now higher than when I was in office.Britain is headed for a real economic crisis - not the confected crisis that the establishment used to sabotage my policies. https://t.co/99Y4SOcir5— Liz Truss (@trussliz) May 29, 2025But social media users were quick to point out the flaws in her argument.You tanked the economy and we are all paying for it. My mortgage is £300 more per month, thanks to you. Have some humility, and give it a rest.— Nick (@nickgreener76) May 29, 2025Thanks for my massive mortgage increase Liz! You know best— roger (@rogerroger911) May 29, 2025They are not lies. Some of us are still having to pay higher mortgages due to your disastrous mini budget.— Imogen (@Imogenlemon02) May 29, 2025Trying to rewrite history Liz? No guilty feelings Liz about what you did to the UK economy or the gold plated pension you get for being PM for just 49 days?— Mark (@mark300100) May 29, 2025.@trussliz Oh, the irony! You're accusing others of lying when your own mini-budget was a catastrophic economic experiment that sent sterling plummeting! And now you're trying to rewrite history? The country is still reeling from your mistakes, Liz.— Candice Holmes (@hol40900) May 29, 2025Gilt rates are higher because you torched the UK’s credibility, Liz.You nuked the economy in six weeks, triggered a £65bn Bank of England bailout, and now you’re back pretending it was all a conspiracy?— m.h (@MattHMajn) May 29, 2025Related...Keir Starmer Warns Nigel Farage's 'Mad Experiment' Would Ruin Economy Like Liz TrussChris Philp Has Criticised Liz Truss's Mini-Budget And People Are Making The Same Point'Trussonomics On Steroids': Farage Compared To Failed Tory PM Over 'Unfunded' Reform Spending Spree
