Liz Truss

Absolutely bang on. Devoid of any substance or credibility whatsoever, cosplay politicians running and ruining the country.

If you could pick anything remotely policy-related from the speech, which is admittedly very difficult, then the commitments all appeared to entail more public spending (defence spending at 3% of GDP, health and policing more generally), not less.

The ‘iron grip’ on public finances was particularly laughable given the lack of a fiscal framework and the refusal to publish the OBR’s projections. It took some real neck to come out with that line a week after the Bank of England had to launch an emergency gilt purchase scheme.

The guff about aspiration, and people getting on in life, won’t cut it when people’s mortgage repayments skyrocket in the next few months and they start losing their homes. Then of course the line about her being the first PM from a state school was a blatant lie.

It’s the anti-growth coalition now.

What does she think would have happened last week if the Bank of England hadn’t stepped in to avoid a complete meltdown of the UK yield curve, and the major pension funds from going pop?

She’s uttlery deranged. I don’t trivialise mental health issues, but there’s something seriously wrong with her upstairs.

That’s an understatement. I've met paranoid schizophrenics who had a firmer grasp of reality than Truss.
 
She pretty much nailed it. Economic growth is the key to staving off recession, low tax, light regulation, pro business, get the economy moving and revisit the polls in twelve months.

It was just words an aspirations of her own - a PM's role in that speech is to flesh out the idea's with policy - she cannot do that because if she promises a then b are against her if she promises b then a are against her. The party is fractured and know she is weak and can be made to turn so it was just so much waffle.

Great.

Now cite me one undisputed instance of where the supply-side economics that she specifically favours has actually produced the growth that she aspires to.

Just one will do.
 
In an attempt to please her sponsors, she has already fucked off millions with higher mortgage rates.

Keeps pushing the line that they have helped millions with the energy bung, not realising it has been swamped by inflation et al.

Shit will really kick off when she attempts to implement the strategy.

she also fails to recognise many cannot afford her so called "price cap" levels
