It is a truth acknowledged by everyone who is not Liz Truss that her defence of a firefly era as prime minister has more flaws than selling points. Her essay in the Sunday Telegraph and a spirited interview by Spectator editors last night yield the conclusion that Truss blames systemic resistance to her fatal mini-Budget for market paroxysms and her rapid ousting from office. It made Happy Valley’s implosions and comeuppances look slow-paced.
One response is that this is simply a face-saving exercise but a more interesting critique of Truss’s return to the political ramparts leaves more food for thought than her enemies can easily dismiss as sour grapes.
