National News Liz Truss - Ousted Former PM... 2.

[QR]

An interesting if brief article.........

Liz Truss wanted government turned up to 11, says former aide

The short-lived prime minister was in a hurry to get things done, her former speechwriter tells the BBC.

www.bbc.co.uk

"And that is why she felt it really was time to take the hard decisions and root it out by trying to break with the sort of consensus, the cosy consensus that meant that Britain had been flagging along with international competitiveness"

"A symbol of the "senior Treasury civil servants who have presided in her mind over persistently low growth, chronically and persistently low productivity".
The Treasury orthodoxy "was something that just had to change because it was not able to unleash Britain's potential in her view".


Of course not everyone likes change or the boat being rocked.

Who knows what might have happened eh?

Just shows how stupid she really is. Our low growth/productivity is due to the UK being run as a Plc for 12 years where short-term gain by way of 'profits' are squeezed out of the economy for the sharks, sorry shareholders, at the expense of the investment that would drive productivity and thus growth.

Truss’s financial plan was the equivalent of trying to build a house without foundations, on a beach with the tide coming in.

Wrong place, wrong time!

In the same way, we can’t sort out Sunak’s recession without first solving Johnson’s inflation crisis

I think the strike on goal was like this...

Ah yes but if Adrian Heath had slipped and not finished, or KB had hit it harder who knows what may have happened?

We don`t..... that`s the thing... we only saw the one outcome.

So if recent history was completely different, Liz Truss might not have been a complete imbecile as PM?

Is that your point?

 

[chuckbert]

I reckon if you work hard EY you could get to the point of expressing how brilliant things might have been with Corbyn as PM. We’ll just never know …

Yep, it'll be the senior Treasury Civil Servants, not the 12 years' of Tory Govts (and their policies) she was mostly part of causing the persistently low growth, persistently low productivity.....

Well at least we now know why they were so in love with their kamikaze budget.

Don't you mean kamiKwasi budget - I thank you.

 

[bashamwonderland]

Staff suspected the material was likely to be traces of drugs as it was found amid wider evidence of partying including bottles, empty cans, and food wrappers.

Oh good heavens what kind of monsters are they!!!!

 

[Oslernorth]

Cocaine was also found at a number of Boris’s lock down parties.
Weren’t the Tories supposed to be cracking down on drug use over the last year? Maybe it was user specific?

 

[Scrongo]

Cocaine is found ,in every restaurant, public house's, night clubs, etc etc. It's rife in society today. The only difference is people like MPs & people with money they get the good s**t.Not the dregs the common people get...

Pound shop fascist Sue Ellen Braverman wants to make cannabis a class A drug. For cocaine she’d probably send you to Rwanda.

MrsEY(Mk2) once got pulled by airport security for having traces of cocaine on the outside of her handbag.
The only place she had put it down since leaving home was on the cistern in the airport ladies.

Its also why the cistern in the gents cubicle at the Blackbird used to be covered in artex...................
They reckon many £20 & £50 notes carry similar traces.

Ergo - non story.
