The Truss Budget 2 years on. Her Oxford Tutor was right ‘a refusal to admit she is wrong’
23rd September marked two years since Kwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss’s disastrous budget. To mark the second anniversary Truss has been active on social media claiming that she was right and the measures she launched in September 2022 remain the only way to save the British economy.
Even KGB News has been quiet on that although Mark Littlewood who heads the ‘Popular Conservatism’ sect with which Truss is associated does appear from time to time.
Marc Stears(now at UCL) wrote about the time he was Liz Truss’s tutor during her time as an undergraduate at Oxford in the Sunday Times (31st July 2022)
According to Stears Truss’s time at Oxford was marked by an ability to come up with unusual angles on issues and stick to them even when informed that facts showed she was wrong. Secondly an ability to fiercely argue a position only to drop it and equally fiercely promote something different.
The more we hear, unfortunately, from Truss the more Marc Stears seems to be right
