Alastair Campbell contends that the current Conservative government is focused on setting economic traps for an incoming Labour government rather than effectively governing the country.

“I think labor should be making far more aggressively is that essentially this is a government that now exists to try to lay traps for an opposition as opposed to a government that's trying to govern”

Rory Stewart maintains that the Conservative party has permanently damaged its economic credibility because of the actions of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng.

“I think the big problem for the Tories is not Jeremy Hunt's budget the big problem for the Tories is Liz trust and quasi courting I think that they are not going to be able to recover from that blow to their economic credibility”
