Strafford questions for Kwasi Kwarteng and his response!
The Straffords put the following questions to Kwasi Kwarteng. See his response:
Caroline: " Is it good for democracy that one man who has only been in parliament for a week can become Prime Minister?"
John: "Kwasi, you and Liz Truss were well and truly stitched up. Ritchie wanted to be Prime Minister, the Labour Party wanted to blame the Conservatives for financial incompetence and Andrew Bailey wanted to blame you for his own incompetence, because the Bank of England's own pension scheme was about to go bust! When did you realise you had become part of an Establishment coup?"
