Since we don’t have a Presidential electoral system, I didn’t “vote Corbyn”, I voted for the local candidate adopted by the Labour Party. Until such time as the Labour Party shifts its policies away from its current “centrist” position I will continue to vote for the Labour candidate endorsed by the national party.

I've watched the Times Radio so my friends don't have to: Non-London normal people tear Times Radio luv in apart.

I would not give her a job in poundland.

Mark Littlewood's claim that "unfunded government spending is bad so why the complaint about unfunded tax cuts" is an over simplification; two points which he elides, unfunded government spending isn't always inflationary (it depends a great deal on what is bought with that borrowing) whereas unfunded tax cuts are so close to being entirely inflationary as to be the same, and secondly in a similar vein unfunded government spending can in fact be "funded" if it is used to acquire goods or services that increase productivity, for example infrastructure like roads (if they are genuinely needed), or generate an ongoing income stream for the government (in other words pay for themselves).

May I recommend the smallest room in the house....for recycling purposes.

The irony is that Liz Truss was brought down by the free markets, who were not atall keen on lending the UK the £50-70BN that was needed to fund the gap between tax and spending.

Five year olds defending a five year old, how pathetic.

I read an interview with Liz Truss in which her dad was referred to as ‘a lecturer in mathematics’. He was actually a Professor of Pure Mathematics at Leeds University. I wonder why it was necessary to downplay his status?

So nice to hear liv struss....as voiced by the incredible talented Narine Skinner. Watch her videos and you'll be richer than Truss

In this day and age, and in this political climate, if you are being 'told not to read it', then perhaps you really really should.

You nieve fool.

Making an argument for Truss is akin to making an argument for a tsunami. I honestly don't know where do we get these people like Truss and the majority of Tories, its beyond reason. Put quite simply, she's mad.

Never trust anyone who says ' I've read it so you don't need to '. Always read or hear people's own words, not what some opinionated persons opinion of someone else

Did she mention pulling out of the Eurovision Song Contest? That's the key to releasing Global Britain's hidden potential.

Mark Littlewood? Of the IEA?? The people to whom Truss outsourced her brain. The architects of Truss' nonsense. You can hear how he advised her. The IEA (who still refuses to say who funds them) must take responsibility.

Is that who it is? Saved me a google as he seems as economically illiterate as truss herself

A classic example of the "Dunning Kruger effect ", a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.

Are we going to listen to these experts who are responsible for the mess we are in and carry on scapegoating truss

You’ve read it, and she was targeted and still is.

Liz Truss was Maybot II with libertarian sprinkles.

Sounds like at one point she might even have been vaguely sane. Possibly when the planets were in alignment..

What's the point in political discussion if all contributors come from the same conservative mindset, lesson one on how to skewed a conversation.

I suppose Truss will be buying knee pads for any future employment.

"Why aren't people worried about trillions in unfunded government spending?" Because government spending against borrowing provides direct value to tax payers which results in (among other things) long term reduction in government costs in other areas including education, public health, and infrastructure. Tax cuts against borrowing provide short term growth in the finance sector of the economy with high levels of volatility that often accelerate the popping of market bubbles and result in economic blowback. The central defense of Truss seems to be "she's strong in her convictions," but strength in ones convictions is only a good thing if they're well founded; her "strength in convictions" is just her being incredibly thick.

That Kirsty Buchanan, (although an advisor to Truss), seems to have a bit of common sense.

Times Radio can't stop itself being snotty metropolitan and woke.

So how has the guy that replaced her fared? Terribly. It's all very well piling in on Truss, but her analysis *was* correct. We can only get out of this current mess with growth, not taxation. Alert. We don't make anything anymore, our armed forces are at their lowest point ever, half the country is unfit for work, tge NHS is overloaded. How is all _that_ down to Truss? In the final analysis, her approach was too forced, too rapid, but if you can't see how bad a state this country is in you must have your head buried in the sand. As bad as she was, credit Truss for seeing the scale of our problems and _at least_ trying to do something about them.
