Truss Honours: Rishi Sunak must block immediately
Responding to the leaked names on Liz Truss’ Honours List, Liberal Democrat Chief Whip Wendy Chamberlain MP said:
Handing out more expensive gongs to Conservative allies is a truly remarkable way to reward the shortest tenure as Prime Minister in British political history.
Truss and her Conservative colleagues trashed our economy and left millions in misery.
Those selected for honours are the very people who helped plunge the country into chaos and crisis.
Rishi Sunak must block these Honours immediately as allowing Truss to dish out positions of influence shows a stunning lack of humility.

I wonder if the trashing done by Truss was to the conservatives reputation rather than the UK economy. The pound and gilts reverted to their pre mini budget levels as soon as Hunt reversed the mini budget . Given the line from the Iraq war to the Ukraine war I’d suggest Labour are more to blame for the recent hike in interest rates.
Russell: Are you sure it isn’t World War II that is to blame? – Or Versailles? Or the Bolsheviks?
Martin, you jest, but I happen to think that illegal wars like the 2nd Iraq war (the reason I started supporting the LDs) do have consequences. If I’m wrong then so too is John Simpson, George Monbiot and several others who have drawn the Iraq/Ukraine line. The reason interest rates are high is (according to boe) 80% due to Putin.
“Those selected for honours are the very people who helped plunge the country into chaos and crisis.”
Err, so everything was perfect until Truss rocked up? Truss and her ideas were cherry on top of cake already with ingredients of chaos and crisis baked in.
Saying anything else is just trying to take an easy win so media pay attention to the party. I understand why it’s chosen as an option but it’s not a truthful position.
