Truss plunges Tories into new crisis
Liz Truss gives a speech on the economy at the Institute for Government in London, September 18, 2023
UNREPENTANT failed premier Liz Truss has plunged the Tory Party into new crisis with a defiant claim that she was right all along.
Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister came out swinging earlier this week, stressing her continuing commitment to chaotic class-war conservatism.
Her London speech claimed that her plans, which nearly crashed the economy, had been sabotaged by the Establishment, and she explained how she would have balanced the books on the backs of the poor.
