Britain’s ‘deep state’ thwarted my plans, Liz Truss tells US far-right summit

Free trade, open borders, taco trucks on every corner. Latest discussion thread: April 2024 **We in m/Neoliberal support:** - Free trade and competitive markets
What a loon.
Reminder:
far from 'thwarting' her plans, the UK's economic establishment wasn't even consulted on them (the OBR);
causing the gilt (UK government bond) market to crash when the scale of her unhinged and unfunded fiscal loosening was announced;
causing UK pension schemes that were overweight gilts to almost default;
causing another part of the UK's economic establishment (the Bank of England) to have to come in and clean up her mess;
causing her own party to seize control of economic governance from her to prevent her doing more harm before they eventually got rid of her.
