Tory MP says Liz Truss's Government 'treating the whole country as laboratory mice' over economic policy
A Tory MP has launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Liz Truss's economic policies, claiming the Government has 'treated the whole country as kind of laboratory mice on which to carry out ultra free market experiments'.
Speaking on Sunday on Sky News, Mr Halfon said: "I worry that over the past few weeks, the Government has looked like libertarian jihadists and treated the whole country as kind of laboratory mice on which to carry out ultra, ultra free market experiments. And this is not where the country is. There's been one horror story after another."
The MP didn't elaborate in detail over what fellow Tory members were saying. But he said: "Of course, colleagues are unhappy with what is going on. We've haemorrhaged in the opinion polls. The public just can't understand what has happened. He told Sky News: "The briefings that have come out using four-letter words to describe Sajid Javid, I’ve known him since university, he’s a really good man, he was respected. He didn't tank the economy when he was chancellor and if the Prime Minister wants to unite the party and get people around her, then these kind of negative briefings about colleagues have got to stop.
