Liz Truss may be an imperfect messenger, but the response to her book highlights one of Westminster's biggest flaws - it has stopped listening to ideas it doesn't agree with: inews.co.uk/opinion/laughi…
I am an economist i did listen to her alternative view and discarded it as being batshit crazy. If any of my students had made any such claims i would have failed them. So why should i listen to utterly stupid deranged ideas that i warned before they were implemented would have exactly the impact they did?
@KateEMcCann Liz Truss is a perfect messenger. A final form boss of the era, representing the forces that have realised to attain and exert political capital you don't need to be well versed, you don't need experience, you don't extensive truth or research- you just need to exploit division.
@KateEMcCann Good luck to her with the book but to be fair to Westminster everyone has stopped listening to Liz Truss at this point.
@KateEMcCann For once Westminster is doing the right thing ignoring absurd ideas, it didn't take long to prove that theory right, she's just trying to sell a book just like many greedy conservative MPs the only thing that matters is their pockets
@KateEMcCann Maybe people heard enough from her and suffered enough during her 49 days as PM.
@KateEMcCann Exactly this. The fact Westminster has stopped listening is evident in the level of immigration, the race to net-zero, the cancer of diversity and inclusion policy and much more.
@KateEMcCann You might have missed the part when Liz Truss and her “ideas” were tried out for exactly 49 days, and failed spectacularly.
@KateEMcCann Not even the slightest possibility that Truss’ track record of Prime Minister might have something to do with this? She’s not done untested amateur with fresh new thinking - she’s literally held the most important office in the entire country and screwed it up royally.
@KateEMcCann @wallaceme Liz Truss speaks well. She weighs her words carefully with none of Sunak's glibness.
@KateEMcCann Give us a break. Why shouldn’t people laugh at the proven ridiculous? Why should we be required to adopt a stance of grave consideration? Pathetic.
