"I didn't know about it and Kwasi didn't know about it either. So we were completely blindsided" Former PM @trussliz tells @Peston she didn't know about the pensions issues related to her mini budget & wouldn't have gone ahead with it then if fully aware of those risks #Peston
@itvpeston @trussliz @Peston Good grief woman, you were in charge of the country, Kwarteng was in charge of the money, it was your job to know. All the advisers you needed were available to you but you didn’t bother to find out. Just be quiet.
@Ferretgrove @itvpeston @trussliz @Peston “It’s not my fault”😂😂😂
@Ferretgrove @itvpeston @trussliz @Peston She sacked most of the good ones!
@Ferretgrove @itvpeston @trussliz @Peston No, this was very technical area that wasn’t obvious even to many in the City. What should have been obvious was much simpler: markets don’t tolerate reckless behaviour by governments
@Ferretgrove @itvpeston @trussliz @Peston Isn’t that the sort of advice the Office for Budget Responsibility is for … but she avoided consulting them?
