Kwarteng did years of damage in a matter of days
Kwasi Kwarteng has done years worth of damage in only a few short weeks, according to the Scottish Greens. His record was blasted by the Scottish Greens co-leader, Lorna Slater, ahead of her party’s conference which is set to begin in Dundee tomorrow morning.
Lorna Slater MSP said:
“Kwasi Kwarteng’s tenure has been short, destructive and disastrous. In only a few short weeks he’s done years of damage. His calamitus budget caused crisis after crisis.
“But he didn’t do it alone. He was cheered to the rafters by his Tory colleagues, including the Scottish Tories who called for the Scottish Government to replicate his disastrous decisions.
“It’s not just the Chancellor who needs to go. It is also this dangerous Prime Minister who appointed him and the Cabinet who have supported him every step of the way.
“This has already gone on too long, and far too many people are suffering. If Liz Truss wants to emerge with any shred of credibility then it can’t just be her Chancellor that leaves Downing Street, it must also be her.
“Scotland can do so much better. We don’t need to be ruled by cruel and incompetent Tory governments that we didn’t vote for and can’t remove. With the powers of independence we can build a fairer and better economy that works for people and the planet.”
