I really hope the press & critics latch onto this because I think it distills her stupidity and dishonesty in 4 sentences. I am desperate for one TV or radio interviewer to put it to her simply.
Mrs Truss, you 4 when Thatcher got elected and 22 when Labour came into power. The Boarded-up shops, people left with no hope turning to drugs, families struggling to put food on the table - that was all happening under the longest period of conservative power since the 18th century wasn't it?
And those Thatcherite policies are the ones that you want to bring back to Britain?
Bonus points if they also challenge her on the outright lie that she was the first PM to go to a comprehensive school, she's not even the first Tory PM to do that.
