As in, "We got white Trussay, black Trussay, bald Trussay, hairy Trussay", etc. etc.?It's not about the article. Look at the headline.
Incidentally, a plethora of media outlets (inc. The Independent, BBC, New Statesman, LBC, Sky and The Guardian) have quoted Truss as blaming the “leftwing economic establishment”, which is how the Sunday Telegraph headlined its accompanying story but is not what Truss actually said.
And if it's not cabals of scheming lefties, then it's cabals of scheming Remoaners - like that piece in the Telegraph a few months back, complaining that Brexit (which, no doubt, would otherwise have unleashed the UK's true potential and led to an unprecedented economic and cultural renaissance) had been derailed by an anti-Brexit 'elite'... written by a member of the House of Lords.This is interesting albeit slightly disappointing
It was actually quite plausible that she would say that cos every day I see people claiming that the country is in the grip of a leftist stranglehold - despite the fact that the Tories have been in power for more than a decade and the right control the media, the courts, the city etc - and so if she had made that obviously insane claim it would have resonated with a certain section of the right
Home Office figures say “illegal” immigration costs the UK just under £1.3 billion PA
Tax evasion - £34bn PA
Brexit divorce bill - 42bn
Track & trace - 37bn
Covid fraud - 15bn
Price of Truss’s madness 40-50bn
Sunak failing to submit paperwork in time - 12bn
Total - 200bn.
154 years of “illegal” immigration will still cost less than 3 years of conservative government.
There could be a whole heap of damehoods handed out if services to Johnson's Johnson merited ennoblement (en-knobblement?).Services to Johnsons?
Liz Truss is expected to blame "woke culture" for a high-tax economy and question if western countries are "match fit to take on China" in a speech to an American think tank today.
The former prime minister, who was forced out of office after 49 days, will deliver the Margaret Thatcher Freedom lecture at the right-wing Heritage Foundation in Washington DC on Wednesday.
Ms Truss is expected to ask whether western economies are "match fit to take on China" and "the whole concept of state capitalism" while continuing her advocacy for a low tax economy as she continues to forge a return to the political limelight.
