STUC comment on the sacking of Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng

14th October 2022

Roz Foyer said: “This mob couldn’t run a menage never mind an economy. This catastrophic ex-chancellor has wreaked enough damage with his disastrous mini-budget that workers throughout Scotland will be feeling the cost for years to come. “Kwasi Kwarteng, whilst culpable, is being punted as the sacrificial patsy to save the skin of a clueless Prime Minister. It won’t work. With each passing day, workers suffer whilst Tories bluster. “The UK Government is ungovernable. The UK Government is finished. We need a general election.
