"Oh minister, the Official Secrets Act isn't there to protects secrets! It's there to protect officials!" I'd actually say the Yes Minister years were the good times because Sir Humphrey was only the bad guy half the time, the other half he was stopping Jim Hacker from doing something really dumb and usually something really bad for the country. Usually because Jim knew that "a year is a long time in politics" and while something would cause big problems in a decade "there is an election in a year". The thing that actually shocks me is how fast the civil servants bent the knee to progressivism, especially after "weathering the storm" of new political fads for 460 years. (Or whatever number Sir Humphrey used to say when he always said "well..because it has been this way for 460 years, why would we change it now?"

Many seem to have already made their minds up, but I think a lot of what she says has merit. The BoE for example conveniently decided to start mass selling gilts the day before the mini budget announcement, which led to the bond market crisis. Bond yields actually soared higher (and still are, I believe) under Sunak and Hunt, and yet not a peep from the media. Numerous cabinet members have also spoken out about the gatekeeping the OBR does, where if it can't forecast something (either due to incompetency or the nature of a complicated policy proposal) it poo poos the policy and gives negative coverage to the media which in turn spooks the markets if the government goes ahead with the policy anyway. In short, all these institutions have locked the government in to being unable to do anything but tax and spend. That is essentially her message here, and she's right about that.

@howmanybeansmakefive

The BoE/OBR needs sorting out, and I agree they are an undemocratic/technocratic limit on government. But that doesn't absolve Truss from needing to plan for pushback, getting people behind her, and political planning for how to get her agenda through effectively. The OBR isn't based any deep tradition/convention, it was set up by the Cameron gov and can be dismantled if the government want to, which could have a lot of political support if they made it a priority instead of using it as a political tool when it suits then moaning when it doesn't (same with BoE monetary independence which came in with new labour). Also everyone seems to forget how Truss was/is a peak neoliberal and globalist, believes in the wisdom of bankers and financiers, but then throws a tantrum at them when they act as they always do thwarting government policies.

Francis is correct to point out that the Conservatives have had 14 years to reverse Blair's and Brown's policies. Truss is disingenuous to portray herself and her fellow Tory MPs as political innocents when they came to power in 2010. Cameron and his advisers referred to Blair as 'The Master'. They saw Blair as the model to follow, if they were to stay in power for 14 years. (New Labour under Blair and Brown was in power for 13 years). They have achieved what they set out to achieve. Truss may be excused for not having understood Liability Driven Investment Strategies but the person she made her Chancellor certainly should have known about them. Pension funds were taking leveraged bets on interest rates because interest rates were and had been too low for the funds to meet the demands on their funds. Likewise the Bank of England is now seeking government funds to cover the losses the Bank made from buying gilts at 0% and holding them as interest rates rose. Together with house prices at ridiculous levels, these are entirely predictable consequences of Quantitative Easing. So is the eradication of entrepreneurship in building successful businesses and its replacement by a rentier economy where enrichment occurs through holding assets. Truss and Kwarteng were ignorant of these issues because they never questioned Brown's policy of QE. It was simply easier to continue the policy and keep the Ministerial salary and car.

Well done for the interview chaps. Well done FF for pushing back by stating the obvious implications of what she said, no one had ever done that with her before, It's all very well her being frank now but, when she was in power she never gave a straight answer to a question, she endlessly repeated her pre-prepared talking points, she communicated in ideological catch phrases, she refused to acknowledge the problems her predecessor had created and now she won't take personal responsibility for her own failures. Let's not forget she was more than happy to back Cameron, May and Johnson, all of whom have done untold damage to our national institutions as well as not putting right any of the things they complain have restrained their progress. You can't blame the 'economic establishment' for that. If 'things don't work and there's something wrong.' who's fault is that? She was never intellectually capable of being a Prime Minister and those who selected her clearly did not have the nation's interests at heart.

We have not got an independent Judiciary, they are all out of touch left wing lunatics who self appoint. I would rather have the Govt. have oversight of them thanks. Just one of many reasons this country is in such a shit state is the shit state of our lefty Judiciary.

Thank you for this interview! As German I only have a very shallow look at British politics and the only thing I knew of Truss is that she came, she saw, she *got* conquered. The section from 6:30 onward is so true! For example I have only two main political views that are important to me: I want Ukraine (and the free world) to win. I don't want asylum immigration from Africa and the middle east. But there is no party with this two simple positions I can vote - sane (that excludes the AfD) politicians that campaign asylum immigration from Africa and the middle east are being town apart by the institutions and NGOs, as Truss said herself.

There is nothing between The Conservative Party policies and Labour’s. The UK is declining at an accelerating rate. I hope to be able to emigrate to a part of the world in the ascendancy. Democracy no longer exists in the UK. It’s little better than China. In the UK there’s lots of parties with the same policies - handed down by those holding the power. In China there’s 1 party with lots of policies that the party can change when they are deemed to have failed.

The trigger-lads certainly know how to switch things up with the guest hot spots!! This may be a corker 😉

People vote for lower taxes and better public services.

Mhm. Oh the cruel irony...

Have known for a long while we could vote in the Cookie Monster for PM and it wouldn't really matter that much.

The UK does not have a president, parliament is the ultimate power, and as a parliamentary democracy the prime minister can't act as a dictator

Wonderful the quality of people that you get on Triggernometry now. Please try and get Mosab Hassan Yousef on….this is one of the few speaking out who really knows what is going on in Gaza, beyond the propaganda and MSM.

Give it a rest. This is Britain, neither side should affect our Christian nation. Christian’s branched off, colonised Europe & lived in palaces for a reason.

​​@@angelsacksonI don't recall the Bible teaching you to wall yourself off in an ivory tower but fair enough lol What do you mean "Christians lived in palaces" anyway? Yeah I'm sure the Christian nobles and knights and lords loved chilling in their doomsday bunkers, didn't the peasantry just kinda toil and suffer and fight and die a lot? Like over the crusades and the spanish inquisition, wars against the Catholics and later colonialist Christian doctrine?

Very interesting and eye opening interview lads. My wife & I always thought Liz would make a good PM. The unelected always seem to have the power.

She was never elected by the electorate but a group of Tories. Then she wanted to implement policies contrary to the manifesto the Tories were voted into office in 2019. I hope you see the irony. Please.

@@dohlecarnett1866 That's not how our system works I cannot believe I have to explain it again. We vote for MPs they chose a leader. We don't elect a president like the USA. The Tory system that everyone knows before they vote Tory (ignorance is no defence) the Tory activist have the final say and they chose Truss She was booted out supposedly because she was giving tax cuts.

@@davidedwards1729 absolutely. He's not any better in that respect. But that doesn't make Truss any better. Also you could argue the difference is that Sunak doesn't try something radical anti-manifesto as Truss.

Could someone explain to me how having an independent Judiciary that counterbalances govt. is a bad thing?
