#CraigMurray | Starmer’s Thatcherite Economics
" If the aim was actually to reduce the fiscal deficit, taxing those who have money would be far more sensible than taking money from those who do not.
But actually that is not the object at all. The object is to convince the neoliberal finance system that this is a safely neoliberal government, willing to hurt the poor and leave the wealthy untouched."

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @intothewestaway @chris tax cuts for the rich? Like PM Liz #Truss introduced in the #UK a wile back?
#Trump's economic incompetence reminds @davidgerard of Liz #Truss. However, as he points out, unfortunately "the U.S. has no equivalent mechanisms to the #UK’s ability to rapidly boot an unpopular leader". Nor, unfortunately, does the #US have such a scurrilous #press

@dangillmor "the top 10% of American households now account for around half of all consumer spending. They also own a lot of stocks, and if Wall Street is heading south, they are more likely to tighten their belts." #Trump may be facing his #Truss moment as #recession bites
No blink & miss ambiguity here. #Trump 'fixer' #SteveBannon does Nazi salute at #US far right extremist gathering attended by #Truss & #Farage. US government on #Putin's side against #Europe. Whole world order turned on its head.

A Tryst with local Tory voter & luminary #Truss , as they iron out the details for Cameron's further elevation up the peerage to Duke, in return for his support for her comeback bid?

British 'patriots' by Morten Morland of The Times
Politician calls for journalists who disagree with her to be changed. I always thought the popular media was right wing, such as the Sun, Express, Daily Mail, Telegraph, etc.
"Liz Truss says UK will fail unless British media outlets are ‘fixed’"
Liz Truss: '...leftwing media of Britain, including the BBC, including organisations like the Times and the Guardian and the Financial Times do not like free speech, free market policies'
Liz Truss is the gift which keeps giving.
She is now saying that the UK will fail unless British media outlets are fixed, I assume in the same way as you fix your tomcat.
Of course she is referring to the BBC, Guardian and Times newspapers who are unsympathetic to her cause. Looks like the Sun, Daily mail and GB news are just fine.
A letter in the Gruaniad pointing out a salient issue
At least Liz Truss got her letter in just before the end of the pantomime season ( https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jan/09/liz-truss-sends-legal-letter-ordering-starmer-to-stop-saying-she-crashed-economy).
All together now: “Oh yes you did!”

Attended by former PM #Boris Johnson & wife Carrie, #ReformUK leader Nigel #Farage, ex-PM Liz #Truss among others
Good to see dear old Liz Truss back on our screens. One of the greatest comediennes of politics (but not really funny). I cannot help smiling with delight whenever I see her (the greatest living proof of the corruption and stupidity of the Tory outlook (amongst some very strong completion)). #truss #torystupidity
