UK Becoming a Police State as Government Talks Nonsense about 'Going for Growth'

As Liz Truss appoints her new right-wing government, the UK economy continues to suffer from the effects of Brexit.

The new Health Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister Therese Coffey writes to staff asking them not to use the 'Oxford comma' whilst Kwasi Kwarteng announces that he is going to 'go for growth' by removing the limit on bankers' bonuses.

In Edinburgh a protester was forced to the ground and arrested by the police for shouting an insult at Prince Andrew, whilst another woman was arrested and is due to go to court for holding up an 'anti-monarchy' sign.

Truss is to borrow £130 billion in order to secure the massive windfall profits of energy companies. The taxpayer will repay this loan over the coming years.
