Our disastrous and incompetent ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss re-emerges to provide an absolutely terrible opinion in the Telegraph.
Trump has been proven right about pretty much everything.
Obviously, in line with her previous Telegraph ramblings, her primary purpose in writing this nonsense, beyond just simple flattery, seems to be once again an effort to blame everyone else except herself for not understanding how great her disgraceful policies of yesteryear actually were.
I know only too well how policies can be traduced and the markets weaponised against people who are trying to change things. The 2022 Mini-Budget was a sensible package of tax freezes, spending restraint and supply-side measures, including fracking, which would have generated economic growth (and was smaller in scale than fiscal announcements before or since).
A huge amount of hysteria was generated, making it very difficult to get messages across. Ultimately, Conservative-in-name-only MPs, the economic establishment and their allies in the media contributed to so much turbulence that the policies could not be implemented. I was blamed for failures that were actually the Bank of England’s: it has since admitted that two-thirds of the market movement was its responsibility.
