      She would have succeeded had sh persisted as Trump did, who was impached twice and had over 100 cases against him and on who 2 assassination attempts were made and who the entire mainstream media were against. She beat Rishi Sunak to become leader and she did have the mandate, but like Jeremy Corbyn, she compromised with the enemies within.
      In Corbyn's case, he compromised with Kier and the blairites and they stabbed him directly in the front and back. Kir Starmer and elements within the Tory government like the status quo and want a bigger government and higher taxes and higher cost of living and most importantly protect the interests of Central Banks and international institutions such as WEF.
      Liz Truss should NOT have resigned or reverse the measures designed to help people. When you fight for the people, the people vote for you, which is what happened in America, where Trump won everything and even the Muslim and Latino vote, while the neocon backed Democrats who served only themselves and implemented global agendas and funded more wars than every before, lost both senate and the house.

      @@billpomfret774​​⁠​⁠The stimulus effect of tax cuts are all accounted for in any modern economic analysis. Even accounted for the stimulus effect, it’s still incomparable to the cost. The main consensus among economists and result of empirical researches is that the magic tax cut that pay for itself is non-existent. Ask any economists, no matter the classics ones or the Keynesian ones, none of them would think borrowing huge for tax cuts is desirable. And you forget that it is the market, the big banks and funds, not the commentators or ‘the establishments’, signed the death warrant for Truss because they too think Truss’s fiscal policy is unsustainable and expensive, therefore charge the government more for that.

      ​@@billpomfret774 Are you defending Truss just for the sake of an argument? It makes no sense to support Liz Truss for both small government and big government policies at the same time. Either Liz Truss should have advocated for small government (as in this video), gutting areas of spending not essential to the economy (e.g. welfare, energy spending etc) and pursued massive deregulation in an effort to replicate an America-style entrepreneurial economy, OR she should have increased tax and spend to "invest" in big government infrastructure projects, energy support schemes etc. The fact she was happy to cut taxes but not announce commensurate spending cuts (even with a year's delay or so), and happy to announce even more expensive government schemes shows hopeless naivety, not "opposition by the Blob"

      It was essentially the same mistake Trump made in his first term - borrow massive amounts to cut taxes which will magically produce enough growth to offset the borrowing. When Trump left office the deficit was by far the biggest it has ever been. Two elections later neither party even has a plan to deal with it.
      Because Truss was making these changes so much quicker than Trump there was a more visceral reaction which is why she's persona non grata in the UK. She's about as popular as Jeffrey Epstein is in the US.

Not because she wanted an emphasis on growth and reform, but because her self image is as a disruptor with low skills in most domains. She is stateside trying to peddle the self defence of her failure, as the fault of the blob. The fault was her ignorance of the impact of the markets reaction to borrow for tax cuts on Bond prices, and therefore private pensions and investments. In other words she harmed conservative voters. She was also poor in many other ways. mAGA would be best advised to keep her at arms length. Hope that helps.

    On Wednesday 21st September 2022, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate by 0.75%.
    On Thursday 22nd September 2022, the Bank of England raised the Bank Rate by only 0.5%.
    At that point a devaluation of sterling against the US dollar was baked in.
    Currency traders don't take up positions ahead of a government financial statement... but they can set them up ready to go.
    So no sooner was the budget safely out of the way, on Friday 23rd September, than the traders pressed the buttons on their computers and sterling devalued against the US dollar.
    The contents of the budget hadn't caused sterling to devalue. All the budget had done was determine the timing of the devaluation.

    To think that The Bank of England was the pinnacle of Economic rectitude. It is a failing not to remove the public servants that did not pick up the danger from the positioning of U.K. Pension Fund "managers". The knowledge that the Bank of England did not pick up the market position that UK Pension fund "managers" had taken with LDI's is hilarious and says don't employ them. How is it that none lost their job? How is it that the Office of Budget Responsibility was not reformed when the leak occurred? The leak was inaccurate and clearly a political move! Once again sloppy Pension funds have to be bailed out by the taxpayer, good grief. Nassim Nicholas Taleb in "Skin in the Game" has been proven to be right again. Unless the managers & bankers feel the downside effect of their decisions then the mistakes will never be learnt.

    • @RobertTownrow
      @RobertTownrow Місяць тому +1

      My understanding is "The Blob, consisting of the Bank of England, investors, traders, and civil servants took down Liz Truss by choosing to do a lot of trades and change interest rates following the mini-budget, which caused bonds to get into trouble, and the Bank then intervened to rescue LDIs etc, but only for two weeks. Everyone reacted negatively to this and would not accept Truss' explanations that the mini-budget was a good thing, neither did they recognize that the majority of the shift occurred due to the war in Ukraine and the massive increase in energy prices etc. Arguably, the Bank was happy to let blame fall on Truss to excuse itself for the LDI debacle. The OBR sent a negative report to the Chancellor, and when he refused to publish it, they leaked it. The newspapers and experts pressured her to reverse course until she actually did so, which left her without any clear policies to guide her leadership"

    left wing people say "systemic racism" and right people say "the swamp/blob." why is everyone resigning to this kind of lousy sensation of helplessness that is unfixable? it's complaining without providing solutions.

    Liz Truss failed on every front and was rightly booted. Biggest embarrassment in British political history. The lowest of low points.

    She didn't understand basic economics and cut taxes in a time of inflation.

    Better to be Liz Truss with 44 days than Lady Jane Grey who only got 9 days, and a much more complete finale.

    Not much short of an apologia of the most disastrous PM the UK has ever had. You only have to hear her talk about climate change to know that she is totally disconnected from reality, whether economic, financial, political or environmental. Now we have a new US head of state on his way, who is equally disconnected from reality (but who is more representative of his country in that respect than Truss is) it will be interesting to see, once confronted with reality ,it all unravels. Of course, it might well be that he creates a short term spurt for growth that tides him over for 4 years, but at a devastating cost to the future of the US and, indeed, the whole world.

    Just didn't have enough of a back bone. UK really needs a new Margaret Thatcher and unfortunately Liz Truss just wasn't made of the same cloth.

    The UK is run by the Civil Service... it's that simple.... well, no it's not... but the Civil Service wields significant power and are largely unaccountable and that does seem concerning. I think/hope though, as the Civil Service seems left wing/socialist in nature, that they will support Labour unlike the Tories.
