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.

Best argument I have heard for Truss so far! But would she be able to deliver?

@MartinII lol..I have a suspicion that she has a Thereasa May level of political skill. I could be wrong.

@Burnley123 Yes, I think that could be right. I feel I have a fair idea what sort of PM Sunak would be, much less of what sort Truss would be - even though Truss has advanced many more specific policies than Sunak has.
