YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLiz truss has shown a "complete failure" to address the inflation driven UK cost of living crisis, says economist Duncan Weldon.
Economist and Journalist Duncan Weldon speaks to the New Statesman's Will Dunn to discuss his cover story in the latest issue of the New Statesman magazine, titled "The coming economic storm: As inflation reaches a 40-year high and with Britain facing a punishing recession, the Conservative leadership contenders have failed to grasp the scale of the crisis."
In this video, Weldon explains how, as inflation continues to rise, Conservative politicians are "not fully appreciating" the scale of this "economic crisis." Weldon explains just how serious the current economic crisis is, and lays out the "nonsensical" policies that Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss have provided as a solution - including tax cuts and using "agency workers" to replace striking workers.
