Note the date in your diaries... I completely and utterly agree with BV on this.
#RishiWasRight
Of course he was. Because he'd already shown himself over the last two years to have a competent grasp of macro-economics. And as per the YouTube clip linked to above, literally every single thing that he predicted would be the result of the Trussbot's crushingly stupid and utterly unjustifiable economic policies has come pretty much exactly to pass.
For many decades, the pattern in UK politics has been that the Tories were a very safe pair of competent hands for the British economy. It's always been their core strength, their primary raison d'etre... and when Labour gets in every so often and promptly overspends, depleting everything accrued in the carefully managed warchests and crashing the economy, then the country votes the Tories back in to put things back on track for a term or two. The clueless Truss and the equally gormless fall-guy Kwarteng managed in the space of just a few weeks to utterly destroythe key reason for there being a Conservative party in the first place. How farcical, cack-handed, incompetent and damaging.
The parliamentary Conservative party was deeply concerned about Truss from the very get-go. As the voting figures clearly showed, had it been down to them, Rishi would have got the job much sooner and by a mile.
And this is where I am reminded of something pithily said to me thirty years ago by a very well-known entrepreneur, whom I had the real fun of working directly for, for more than 8 years back in the day. He said to me (and this is a direct quote, censored for obvious reasons):-
"Remember - don't just blame the c***. Also blame the c***s that put them there."
Too true. It was the wider signed-up members of the Conservative party (just 172,000 of them) who put Truss in number 10. It was so abundantly clear up-front that Truss was by far the worst of a binary choice when compared to Rishi that I suspect (though without proof) that a subliminal racism was in play. On average, those bothering to become signed-up members of the Tory party will be "tweedy" - so, late middle-aged, living in the south, financially very comfortable, determinedly reactionary and utterly out of touch. I think that they won't have wanted a non-white British PM and that will have coloured (pun intended) their decision. Shame on them and clearly, you reap what you sow. Anyhow...
Truss's many flaws are glaringly obvious. In no particular order, they include:-
A total absence of fiscal responsibility
A staggering ignorance of optics
A complete absence of charisma
A stubbornly held delusion against all evidence that she's the second coming of Margaret Thatcher
With the clueless Liz at the helm, we're in deep trouble. She'll preside in ignorance and bewilderment over disaster after disaster over the next two years. And then we're bound to get a Labour landslide, which will put that bunch of muppets in power.
