Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has been likened to feckless Mr Bean after making a 'patronising and really, really lame' video to explain inflation using coffee cups in the Treasury canteen.
Hunt grabbing some coffee cups in the ‘Mr Bean-esque’ video Opponents accused Mr Hunt of ignoring the government’s role in soaring prices – and taking credit for falls predicted anyway.
Lib Dem Sarah Olney called it ‘a Mr Bean-esque video from the clueless party that crashed the economy and sent mortgage bills spiralling’. A Labour source told the BBC: ‘The “Not me guv” explainer misses out the fundamental fact that the British public have been so exposed to economic shocks and the energy crisis because of 13 years of Tory failure.’
But the video got 500 likes and was retweeted by Conservative backbenchers including Robert Largan. ‘A good, quick explanation video,’ he insisted.
