Grant Shapps was put on the spot when asked about a potential slogan and would it win the next election for the Tories.

It comes as ex PM Liz Truss is blaming the left-wing ‘economic establishment’ for ousting her.

Her radical tax-cutting budget roiled financial markets, sank the pound, took British pension plans to the brink of collapse and led to a revolt within her own Conservative Party.

Shapps

Do you believe Truss? Well, no nobody does, perhaps herself maybe.

Either way the UK economy is screwed that isn’t really up for debate.

With that in mind C4 presenter Andrew Neil asked Grant Shapps: ‘We’ve made Britain poorer than Slovenia, is that an election winning slogan?’

The FT noted that “median incomes in the UK are well below those in places such as Norway, Switzerland or the US and well below the average of developed countries. Incomes of the poor, those at the 10th percentile, are lower in the UK than in Slovenia.”

Reactions

1.

@grantshapps low unemployment alone isn’t a sign of success when millions in employment can’t afford their heating and are dependent on food banks to survive. #GeneralElectionNow https://t.co/0ds7qk5G4i

No fan of @afneil 's politics but no one can doubt his brilliance at his job. Shame he had to ruin it by going to GBeebs https://t.co/vW1NPUMEu9

This is really poor by @grantshapps. The Tories have no plan for the economy. It's all about managed decline. https://t.co/rOOXwKiMuG

How this serial Liar is allowed anywhere near Westminster is beyond me. Won't be so smug when you lose your seat at the next election Grant. Or is it Michael? Who knows? https://t.co/2p0EATj0vj

Or indeed…

Comments like this are extremely disrespectful to Slovenia.

Take it from someone that’s actually been there – Slovenia is a highly developed and very beautiful country and your trope is hideously outdated. Do better https://t.co/VEba3Bbs47
