HBO series Succession.On Monday (October 3), the Chancellor of the Exchequer said in a statement that “we get it and we have listened”, as he announced plans to scrap a controversial tax cut for those earning over £150,000 a year.His statement, however, was soon mocked on social media, with many comparing it to a speech given by Sarah Snook’s character Shiv Roy in Succession.In a season three episode of the hit show, Shiv used the phrase “we get it” while addressing Waystar Royco employees about a series of scandals that had hit the company.“As a #Succession obsessive, I’m really enjoying the tories leading with “We get it” on the 45p tax rate climb down. Is @lucyprebblish writing the script for our government now?” wrote one person.Another joked: “Does the UK government have the same PR advisers as Waystar Royco?”“Wasn’t ‘we get it’ literally the slogan Waystar went with in Succession after it came out that they’d done a bunch of shady things? And then ‘we hear you’ after their version of Siri was spying on people?” added another.As a #Succession obsessive, I'm really enjoying the tories leading with "We get it" on the 45p tax rate climb down.
