Alastair Campbell – 2022 Comments on the Dismissal of Kwasi Kwarteng

The comments made by Alastair Campbell on Twitter on 14 October 2022.

I know we are talking small sums compared to the many billions spaffed on extra borrowing costs, not to mention the Covid billions wasted and lost to incompetence and corruption. But another consequence of the constant ministerial merry go round under Johnson and Truss is the continuing cost to the public purse after these useless charlatans lose their jobs. Johnson gets a huge PM allowance for life. They get pay-offs/pensions that rise because they have been “ministers.” The system has to be changed. Incompetence cannot keep being rewarded
