IF YOU GIVE A SLICE OF PIE TO A RICH MAN THEN WHEN HE EATS IT THERE WILL BE LOTS OF CRUMBS WHICH TRICKLE DOWN BECAUSE THE RICH MAN HAS ALREADY HAD LUNCH SO ISN'T VERY HUNGRY
BUT!
IF YOU GIVE A SLICE OF PIE TO A POOR MAN THEN THERE WILL BE NO CRUMBS BECAUSE THE POOR MAN IS STARVING AND HASN'T EATEN ALL DAY!
THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO GIVE THE LARGEST SLICES OF PIE TO THE RICH SO THE CRUMBS CAN TRICKLE DOWN AND GROW THE PIE!!
The only thing worse and more Tory is the "anti-growth coalition"
Once again we are left contemplating what happens to a person to make them this way? The trauma you must endure to come out the other side like this is harrowing beyond imagination.
Think she actually said growler pie, but her adenoidal diction was hard to unpick.
She’s only repeating what she’s been told in the dungeon
I thought this phrase was just her jumbling her words but it's actually in the draft of her speech already provided to the media: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2022/oct/05/liz-truss-tory-conference-speech-conservative-james-cleverly-mini-budget-live
I suppose the speech writer has decided that using such a jarring phrase makes it more likely people will remember/talk about it

I'm glad they didn't go with the cake metaphor.

I grow pies on a magic pie tree.
It's a term she's nicked from stakeholder capitalist theorists (e.g. Edmans).
Crucially they’ve yet to say whether it’s just a ‘lid on’ pie or the full pastry enclosure. That’s where they’re going wrong.
We watch the porky pies grow bigger.
The honest truth is what we want.

and keep digging excrement.
grow the pie
arrrgh
WHO LIKES PIE?
WHO WANTS MORE PIE?
GROW THE PIE!
FIZZ WITH LIZ!
When the cabinet start karking it live on tv - Coffey looks distinctly unwell rn on Beeb 2 - the pietalk might be quietly dropped
More of a crumble, I reckon.
When the Skyfaw
it’s such a tory brexit kind of phrase
because self-evidently you can’t grow a pie, you can only share a pie
but the more people point out how nonsensical it is as a metaphor, the more people are saying the phrase “grow the pie”
best if everyone just ignore it tbh

Is this the new "blob"?
"grow the pie" is pure David Brent
Except it's not. It's from stakeholder capitalism which is currently in favour with the European Commission.
Heh...
