“Our politics are respected around the world,” said Liz Truss, shortly before she realised that her politics were not respected around the Tory backbenches, and off she went.
Nearer the mark is that our politics “were” respected over many years of both Tory and Labour governments, but thanks to this awful, chaotic period of British history, that respect is very much in the rear view mirror.
Thanks to Brexit, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, these charlatans have not merely crashed the economy but trashed our reputation around the world. And now the same people who gave us the two worst Prime Ministers in our history are saying they are the people to give us the next one.
