Thoughts you, the report for shedding different individuals’s cash in report time remains to be presently being held by the vastly incompetent and completely unrepentant Liz Truss.
Her ‘mini finances’ – and let’s all give thanks that it was solely a mini model and never the maxi one – price the UK £30 billion kilos.
