She sent markets into chaos by announcing £45billion of unfunded tax cuts without commissioning an independent forecast - but claimed no one told her of the risks.

Why is she still on tv?

    It's actually even worse than that. The office of budget responsibility normally reviews budgets before they are announced (this is an impartial review done by multiple people and then the results merge together at the end). She refused to let them look at hers. She knew what it would do, she just didn't care, and for some reason thought she could ram it through.

    She has a book to plug.

    But weirdly her marketing team suggested she promote the book like you would bury bad news in government. As in, announce it just before another big news story so that everyone forgets your announcement and focuses on the other one. The other one being The Budget!

    She, and her whole team, are fucking crazy.

    The whole interview was a train wreck for her, she tried the talk over tactic to stop the presenter but got shut down.

    During the interview she denied the sequence of events that lead to her resignation and shows 0 understanding on how the bond markets actually work.

    I feel anyone intelligent enough to be host on TV could run circles around her

    It is an embarrassing moment in UK history that she was promoted to PM

    If you need an argument against Conservatives, they preferred that stupid cunt over a South asian person

    They only like it when they can use the South asians as plausible deniability for racist immigration policy.

    They literally elected the far worse candidate because she was white

    There is no other explanation, that party should just die off (seems they are)

    This is why I don't think badenoch will continue to be leader of the party up until the next general, not unless Burnham announces one next month, which I really can't see happening

    Imagine how fucking terrible your ability/understanding of a topic has to be to just announce something that starts crashing the economy

    She has no place discussing anything related to finance to any individual let alone on TV

    She is the reason my mortgage cost several hundred a month more when I bought a house a few years ago.
