I’m not sure that using Liz Truss as your benchmark is an especially good idea or particularly instructive. Personally I think that Rayner is absolutely dreadful, but that’s just my opinion.
I also don’t think that someone’s perceived class or background is of any relevance as to whether they may have ‘misdirected a couple of grand’ as you put it. Constantly banging on about what school people went to serves little purpose and personally I just prefer to take people as I find them.
Finally I assume that your suggestion that Sunak ‘stole off the country’ in 2008 refers to his time at TCI? An abject failure of regulation around RBS, encouraged by the light/limited touch approach of the Labour government of the day, is the reason why RBS went bust. TCI’s involvement was of no relevance, Sunak’s even less.
Were conservative politicians calling for a stricter or more lenient regime of banking regulation?
