UK Politics

Because she is obedient to power. She’s a trusted water carrier for the billionaire class. That’s her job.

Same way Farage is always in America. He’s paid to divide and distract the people, while the billionaires did a smash and grab on Britain, splitting it from a EU which is growing in power and influence on the world stage.

Mostly American old money, from the Kochs, The Mercer’s et al (there are a dozen or more) . They fund neoliberal conservative programs across the world, to advance their interests - such a favourable tax regimes , access to natural resources, keeping a lid on workers rights, small neutered governments - and defending themselves from democracy.

The same people that Trump answers to.

Theres plenty of money available for people willing to do that. Look at Lee Anderson. Thick as pig shit, used to be Labour - the he start attacking working people and abracadabra he’s chairman of the tories . Where’s his money come from ? The Carlton Club. 100 grad. GB News , 100 grand . The list goes on.

The main reason GB news exists is to funnel clean money to these gobshites.

None of this controversial - it’s all well documented.

TL:DR She has no shame

Because idiots don't understand why her economics don't work. So she is a tragic hero to them. Some rich people know those ideas don't work, but personally profit from them, so to them, she is a useful idiot. Non-rich supporting those ideas are just dim.

The attempt to attack Corbyn by drawing comparisons with Truss is bizarre. I can only assume that a mildly conscientious sub-editor inserted the bolded bit because it contradicts everything else he has to say about that particular analogy:

In her mix of utter conviction and utter obliviousness to how she might come across to anyone who doesn’t see the world the way she does, the politician she most resembles is Jeremy Corbyn. Like him, Truss is convinced the policies she advocates are popular with a majority of the public. For Corbyn it was nationalisation of the utilities, more money for the NHS and cheaper housing, all of which poll extremely well. For Truss it is secure borders, lower taxes and an end to burdensome environmental restrictions. In both cases, the explanation for why the things the public want never come to pass is the same: the system is stacked against the preferences of ordinary people.

Who?

Because she still thinks her ideas are sound and that she was forced out and wasn't given the opportunity to at least try them.

In some ways, it was refreshing to see a Prime Minister who actually wanted to change something, but making literally every economic change she wanted to make all at once was never going to cause anything other than a major shock to the economy.

Is this the lady that was weirdly excited about pork markets?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

But the bulk of the audience seemed made up of PopCon’s natural constituency: the eager beaver young men (and the occasional woman) who work at the rightwing thinktanks that populate Tufton Street, just down the road.

He was followed by Jacob Rees-Mogg, Lee Anderson (then still a Tory MP, before his recent defection to Reform UK, though he was already showing clear signs of strain) and Mhairi Fraser, the prospective Conservative candidate for Epsom and Ewell, who railed against Covid lockdowns, smoking bans and the dark threat of restrictions on an Englishman’s right to buy two packets of biscuits.

The Bank of England had cavilled at her proposals at a time when monetary policy was tightening because of its own inattention to the risks of inflation; the OBR had leaked that it believed there was a £70bn hole in her forecasts without having done the legwork to cost them properly; the BBC and wider media had failed to challenge the quangocrats on these failures while mercilessly laying into Truss and Kwarteng.

Next month, Truss is publishing a book called Ten Years to Save the West (it is strictly embargoed, though most of its contents have been trailed in her public pronouncements – she was already plugging it at the IfG back in September).

He plans to run a campaign focused on local issues, drawing inspiration from David Tully, the vehicle repair shop owner and political novice who came a strong second in the recent Rochdale byelection.

It’s also utterly irrelevant to constituents whose everyday difficulties revolve round housing, healthcare, transport and a lack of opportunity or support for disaffected young people, and whose lives became considerably more challenging after her premiership led to a sharp hike in mortgage rates.
