Libertarian Liz Truss resigns – not only was the Lady for turning she was for quitting as well!

ByMartyn Bradbury

Oh how glorious, Libertarian Liz Truss after attempting to adopt far right free market mythology as actual policy so damaged the UK economy that she has had to quit barely two months into the job!

When Truss first won, I predicted the following…

Liz Truss is a free market acolyte who hated BoJos windfall taxes on obscene profits because she is pro corporate profit.

Ideologically she is Margaret Thatcher on meth combined with all the ill deserved smugness of Tony Blair.

She will be a disaster for the UK and her free market solutions will cause a crippling wave of unemployment at a time of 13% inflation and energy prices exploding beyond peoples ability to pay.

…lo and behold, Kwasi implemented a crazy far right agenda that was so off the charts that the market itself said ‘no way’ and plunged the UK into a self inflicted economic death spiral.

TDB warned this would happen when she first won, we argued she and her clique were libertarian extremists and we predicted that Boris would be begged back into the job as the Tory disconnect with working class electorates Brexit had won for them made holding them impossible.

Labour has an enormous lead but the Al Jazeera revelations of how Starmer and his clique manufactured false claims about ant-semitism to smear Corbyn have sent the activist Left into a feeding frenzy against Labour.

National wants to implement un-costed tax cuts in NZ, which will generate the same market panic, turns out we were all Keynesian socialists after all!

Anarchy in the UK. Wait untill winter and Putins war really bites.

  1. One of the most evil people ever to be PM of Britain, without even starting a new unnecessary war- pretty good going for less than two months in power.

      1. Oh Rosie, I’m sorry to offend you. But I’m in a very naughty mood, could you come over, dress up as nanny and spank me….

        2. We are trying to hold a society together with fewer rules but not none. Would that please your naughty little child within you? Have a search for your older side as we tend to talk and jest at adult level here.

      2. RosieLee. Yes, Terry is offensive and Terry is silly. So is that master of the King’s Speech, Gagarin, who does well not to gag on his own sweeping ignorance.

        Call Centre workers are the front line people, now located more often than not in the Philippines or Mumbai, taking all the abuse and flak for the policies of their bosses, and undeserving of being dragged down to the level of politicians.

  4. Politics in the UK is the new Italy/ Australia of revolving door Prime Ministers.

    I see Boris is looking at a comeback!

    Labour have been so repellent that’s these turkeys have hung on in there, year in, year out. Maybe lessons for NZ!

      1. Different countries different problems different solutions. Changing tax brackets is a lot different to what happened in England because we would not need to borrow to pay the increase in power costs at the same time.

    2. Yep, Truss on her own petard, makes Boris look good. Kind of like the Ardern/Luxon scenario we have going on here.

      Hubris and Stupidity with a healthy dose of self interest.

  7. The series on T.V called ‘This England’ is excellent. I’ve just finished binge watching it. You will need some tissues it’s really sad.
    You just have to sit through stupid ads especially the worst ad I have ever seen, the goose taking a plane to migrate. Wrong on so many levels it hurts.

  8. Was the whole thing set up? The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Kline outlines exactly the strategy followed by the UK Tories.

    Step 1. Generate an economic crisis that defines the narrative and leaves “no alternative”.
    Step 2. Reduce government spending in response to the crisis.
    Step 3. De-regulate protections for workers and lower wages through immigration.
    Step 4. Announce tax cuts in time for the next election.

    It’s almost too perfect and its a strategy that the right in NZ will be looking on with glowing admiration.

  9. British people now move to Italy for a warm, dry climate, cheaper costs of living and stable governments.

  10. The P.M the U.K needs is Mike Lynch,runs rings around the Tories and their glove puppet media.

  11. Is Liz entitled to some lifetime perks now as ex PM? If not she could do a Faafoi and go into lobbying.

        1. Fantail All is not lost. Experience and maturity are enjoying a renaissance. Quick, join NZ First and become a candidate and I will vote for you. You have a good voice and I am tiring of the dissonant tuis.

  12. Love it.

    The Nazgul Queen of soulless neoliberal doctrine taken out by the hidden hand of the market.

    Priceless.

  13. Boris will be licking his lips. The return of a glorious leader, will be enough for a rise in the polls

  14. Maggie, your thought clone, has done its dash,now see the true Maggie clone shine. the opposition calling themselves true Labour progress, as they with Sir KEIR,not care, washes away all those socialists who dare question Sir and sir!s. Starmar,black listed banned Ken Loach,from the Labour party, cause his socialist caring.Ken Loach,our most still modern socialist film director,on minimum budget socialist caring film directors of our time and aslo modern times, actors street, can you act, got this scipt, not going to make you a star,just let the world understand about corporations, and their unbelievale uncarring of their abuse about us and you.

  15. Come on Martyn, Boris doesn’t have a hope in hell! He is toxic to too many Tories – he will not get 100 supporting his nomination. Mei Heron on TVNZ was banging on about Boris but is such a lightweight that she knows nothing about the more likely contenders. Penny Mourdant has a reasonable chance Braverman none at all and Sunak has pissed off too many MPs to have a chance. My guess is that a moderate – a ‘One Nation’ Tory will win as they don’t want to frighten the markets any more. The ‘activist Left’ are irrelevant in UK politics these days and I’m sorry Martyn but Corbyn was anti-Semitic and pig headed, would not recant and that is why he was tossed out of the party and justifiably so.

      1. I was wrong. Bojo did make a comeback supported by the most stupid Conservative MPs. You can’t predict these things!

  16. Not that I would support Truss’ economic policies, but is the backfiring economic sanctions that brought her down, as well as Johnson and whoever takes over next. Nothing will improve until the sanctions are lifted

    1. Same here in NZ . Inflation is blamed on the leader although the difference is Arderns economic management, allowing a lifestyle to manage inflation. Truss’s hard right policy got her chucked out.
