Liz Truss

Going to be another Gordon Brown, unelected PM who gets booted out at the first GE. Suicidal by the Tory's choosing either her or Sunak as PM.

Sunak is far better. She is devoid of her own ideas and because of that she changes her mind on an alarmingly regular basis. She is nothing but hot air from what I’ve seen - I can’t stand her.
 
Trying to get my head round the fact we live in a country that someone like this or Johnson can become the Head of our nation.

Surely we can find people intellectually and morally superior to the likes of these.

What qualifications does Truss have to make decisions on Economic policy. Is she the top economist in Britain?
 
Why are people comparing her to Thatcher?

Maggie was slightly left of this despot and had a brain.
 
No Thatcher had a presence and didn't u turn all the time

I am pretty certain that sometimes that refusal to deviate from a plan or an idea was not always in her favour - see the Poll Tax.

However what Thatcher had was an ability to articulate her thinking and explain why she might have changed a view on something whereas Truss is simply the glove puppet of the last person who spoke to her. eg

"Liz we need to be seen to do something - cut taxes its Thatcherite and Conservative "

Truss - " I will cut taxes because its the right Conservative thing to do"

someone else - " Liz cutting taxes is bad as its inflationary and we Conservatives need to keep inflation down to show we are good with the economy and for business "

Truss - " we cannot put taxes up its inflationary. What I didn't say before was taken out of context and has been deliberately mis-represented in the press"
