@stephenj_colvin He's as good at economics as the Bank of England and Treasury. Which, frankly, isn't saying much.

@stephenj_colvin Strange how it's lasted so long.

@stephenj_colvin @francessmith Not sure why anyone thinks he knows economics. There's no evidence of it from his scheming and policies. So he worked at a bank for a short time. Could he hack it?

@stephenj_colvin @francessmith not 6%, it's actually more than 30% (or six percentage points)

@stephenj_colvin He’s just the better communicator and some are taken in by that imo. If you’re comparing what they’ve actually DONE there’s no contest. Unsurprisingly Sky gave him a very easy ride not confronting him on his numerous u turns while making a big deal of Truss’s.

@stephenj_colvin @Dringcarol Not a good idea. And promising a tax cut 7 years from now, how can he promise that?

@stephenj_colvin @anthea_bailey Well for a start you have microeconomics which is the theory of markets and the theory of the firm, and then you can talk about macroeconomic stuff which is completely different. Then you have trade, budgeting, accounts, banking, risk, behaviour etc. IE it depends. Innit.

@stephenj_colvin Every policy or budget he has produced since being Chancellor has needed changing. Concentrating just on inflation isn't the answer, you need to target, inflation, growth, and helping people through this energy crisis. @RishiSunak has tunnel vision is out of touch

@stephenj_colvin @7nestingwrens He forgets he was in charge of our finances and now we are in a financial mess on the brink of recession. How can he be let loose on the purse strings again?

@stephenj_colvin @alan_lam I read once that when any government reduces corporation tax, the overall take is higher. I would have thought that faced with recession, we would want to help employers to keep staff on and still trade.

@stephenj_colvin Sunak and Bank of England are fuelling inflation. Their prime roll, and Governments & Bankers everywhere should be restricting excessive opportunistic price increases in energy, shipping containers etc, all of which is compounding inflation via VAT and other percentage taxes.

@stephenj_colvin @Shazza827 Then he will fly off to USA with his billionaire wife and their kids,,
