A Tory candidate was empty-chaired at a hustings in her constituency, while a Reform party hopeful was replaced with a pinecone.

Kent Online

New: First large poll of the campaign suggests the Conservative Party is on course for its worst result in history.

To which my only response is: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. 🤞 Fingers crossed that Laura Trott the hapless incompetent MP in my constituency is one of the Tory halfwits who loses her job.

Labour: 476
Tory: 66

Stats watchdog criticises Treasury tax cut claims

Two Treasury ministers, Laura Trott and Bim Afolami, have been criticised over recent claims on tax cuts.

BBC News

Sir Robert Chote (chair of the UK Statistics Authority) has criticised #LauraTrott for claiming #workers tax bills had gone down, when what she should have said was that her claim of a £1000 reduction was against counter-factual compared to a posited projected tax bill if tax thresholds hadn't gone up more than 2010.

Not only that, this conveniently misses the fiscal drag (no #inflation linked increases in thresholds) in the recent bout of inflationary pressure.

Q. was it a lie or confusion?

@stuart She's really not very good is she?

#LauraTrott #Sevenoaks

Laura Trott reminds me of Liz Truss: she has the same deer in the headlights look about her. do you think that when she decided to enter politics she removed 'er' from the end of her name?

Just to add to her misery Laura Trott is fact checked by the BBC of all people and is shown clearly to be wrong.

And to think she has a degree in economics and history. 🤦‍♂️

#LauraTrott #ToryShambles

Although this is a Labour tweet, they are right to pick up on this interview...

I don't entirely agree with the introductory Labour commentary but the short radio clip demonstrates the paucity of understanding by the Tories - even in their own economic terms - of government finances. This is just a couple of minutes of a car crash interview on radio 4's PM ("This is really basic... I'm amazed ...

#LauraTrott just another Tory repeating the economic illiteracy that passes 4 policy with this appalling Govt. ‘I’m not sure’ is not good enough, with rising UK debt the stupidity of tax cuts, an election bribe, is irresponsibility gone mad. https://rb.gy/69ecfx #ToryLies #RejoinEU #SunakIsALiar #ToryCorruption
