Does someone need to show this to Truss and Kwarteng every day until they change their mind?

More great news - Truss has sacked her treasury secretary for suggesting that plunging the country into debt to pay for tax cuts and propping up businesses isn't such a great idea:

Tom Scholar, permanent secretary to the Treasury, sacked by Liz Truss
Government likely to seek replacement amenable to its plans of economic growth through tax cuts

Anyone else heading out to a protest on Saturday? I've been impressed with this campaign https://wesayenough.co.uk/

It's mad isn't it?
Russia says it will mobilise all able-bodied males and bans travel out of the country, and the streets are full that evening despite a fascist regime that kills dissenters. Iranian "secret" police kill a girl over an "improper" hijab, and the streets are full that evening despite a fascist regime that kills dissenters.
The relatively free UK is apparently trying to starve, freeze, and poverty everyone to death and we'll maybe be doing some finger-wagging in the park next Saturday.

I'm predicting a little more than that, but maybe that's just hope. I'll probably accidentally leave my phone at home anyway...

TBH Truss needs a dose of the truth from protests like this, however I fear she’ll lap it up as it’s what men and women did when Thatcher was in power and we all know she loves to channel her inner Thatcher.
Also I fear Priti Patel will use any signs of disruption and violence etc as her way of pushing through her Orwellian views.

I'd love to say I can't believe that there has been complete radio silence in the mainstream media regarding this, but really I am not surprised in the least. A truly insane watch, and I had no idea that it all stemmed from a meeting in the room where I used to do karate and campaign the council to have a skatepark built in my little seaside town. It confirms everything I suspected about the takedown of Corbyn, and then some, but I take zero pleasure in this.
The Labour Conference is using my work carpark at the moment, and apparently it's being ignored there too. I plan on asking people about this report on my way back to the car later.
