Liz Truss & the Left-Wing Orthodoxy
Liz Truss is writing a book about her 49 days as PM due to be published in Spring 2024.
It should either be a pamphlet or if its an attempt by Truss to relaunch here career as a stand up comedian. If so she needs to work on her delivery because it really is the way you tell them.
According to the Heil on Sunday which has a small preview Truss is on about being defeated by left wing economic orthodoxy. A list, not exhaustive, of who this might be is:
President Biden
The Bank of England
The IMF
Tony Blair
Gordon Brown
New Labour generally
Simon Case (Cabinet Secretary with beard)
Greta Thunberg
Just Stop Oil
Truss made an anniversary speech on Monday 18th September and added some more to the list:
The bond markets
The Office for Budget Responsibility
The BBC
Mark Carney
International economic bodies
Institutional bureacracy(civil servants)
The Occupy Movement
Academic Institutions and Think-Tanks
Woke Diversity Policies
The left economist James Meadway is right to argue that a left-wing Government seeking to change the status quo would face some at least of the same obstacles (leaving aside those Truss has just entirely made up). Hopefully it would be understood as a political challenge to be grappled with politically with a mobilisation of unions and campaigns behind it. I’ll post further on this
