Liz Truss is favourite to be the next Prime Minister.

In her world, neither Thatcherism nor Brexit went far enough. Cutting taxes and running down public services (even more) will produce growth and lower inflation. All existing EU laws must be scrapped within 15 months or else.

This is why I had such mixed feelings about Johnson going. Sunak would be bad enough but this is a woman who Dominic Cummings called mad.

Get ready for a bumpy ride.

@smiler2012 I follow the Tories closely enough.

In a sense, Thatcherism is mainstream within the Conservatives.. Sunak represent continuity of existing Thatcherism with a George Osborne flavour.

Truss represents an ideologue for Britania unchained, which was a book written by a group of Tory MPs. ten years ago. It calls for a new libertarian settlement; big deregulation, reductions in workplace protections and flat taxes. Boris supported it but not seriously. Truss supports it seriously.
