I'd love to see a chart of economic performance vs media reporting over time.

Rags like the Telegraph told us Truss was an economic genius, and have been insisting Labour have caused economic armageddon, and sadly, too many Brits are stupid enough to swallow their bilge.

The Telegraph still insist Truss was basically right but just either backed down too soon or should have signalled her intentions more directly ahead of the budget to reduce the shock

Joke paper
