Liz Truss unveiled the Tories’ latest ‘bogeyman’ in her first Conservative party conference speech as PM – the ‘anti-growth coalition’.You can read our 33 favourite responses to whatever the hell she was trying to get at here.

We especially liked this moment from Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy’s interview with Edward Argar MP, cabinet office minister and paymaster general, about ‘anti-growth’ and Brexit.

Guru-Murthy: Because of Brexit, British growth is much lower that it would have been, it is you, this government, who are the anti growth coalition.

Argar: We need to be focused on delivering growth. pic.twitter.com/OCu9YKXiZX

Boom.

And here’s just a fraction of the love people had for him.

Well said Krishnan.

We are in a very difficult economic position, a situation seriously exacerbated by this administration’s Brexit fantasy. That fantasy has become a continuing nightmare.
