Davey on Farage speech: “Trussonomics on steroids”

27 May 2025

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Responding to Nigel Farage’s speech today, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

“Nigel Farage praised the disastrous Truss mini-budget, and now he wants to repeat it with huge unfunded spending pledges and only vague promises of fantasy savings. It’s Trussonomics on steroids.

“We all remember far too well what that means: crashing the economy and sending interest rates soaring. It’s even more ludicrous coming from a man who is licking the boots of Donald Trump as his trade war does such terrible damage to our economy.

“Just like the Conservative Party, Reform aren’t a serious opposition to this government. Only the Liberal Democrats are championing the positive change our country needs.”
