The short-lived prime minister was in a hurry to get things done, her former speechwriter tells the BBC.

"And at the same time Liz was someone who knew what she thought, known it for years, and so finally had the biggest chance yet to make her programme a reality.

The Treasury orthodoxy "was something that just had to change because it was not able to unleash Britain's potential in her view", he said.He said Ms Truss had spent years sitting around the cabinet table and felt she knew what the solutions were to the country's economic problems. "She also knew that this was the moment to put rocket boosters on the economy and get growth going.

"She can embrace the jokes, and that's a part of her personality. Then she could see that she was bullet-proof as a result."sacked her long-time political ally and friend, Kwasi Kwarteng, as chancellorMr Bennett said that was very hard for her. "Liz and Kwasi are very, very close friends, longstanding friends. They lived in the same area of London. They'd known each other for a while.

Come on, nice tits though.....

She was the wrecking ball not the crane driver. They've only replaced the wrecking ball. When will this sink in?

Anyone who's watched the film will know that the fictional members of spinal tap were all thick as fuck. A very apt comparison to Truss

The irony is that this reference is from a movie scene where someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

She was referring to their IQ though.

Yes , Jews ✡️ don't like 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 ,8

More meaningless twaddle from the useless former PM’s pointless team

Meaningless babble. Typical of this vacuous windbag.

Meaningless nonsense.

'I think Liz felt that she's gambled before in her life and then she could gamble again on this.' And that's why we shouldn't elect lifelong chancers.

Liz Truss was the mini-Stonehenge of British Prime Ministers - there's nothing you can do to make her bigger or better than she was. spinaltap

Scottish cabinet?

We will live to regret this opportunity.

No one knows what that means

She was totally out of her depth… no charisma, no oratory, no charm, no idea….. feckin useless

no one’s cares. she’s gone

All we got was a delay pedal set to maximum.

Would you like to work in a shoe shop?

Darth Vader wanted Death Star turned up to 11, says former Stormtrooper

trussliz should be barred from public office and face criminal charges for the havoc and disruption she caused the economy and millions of people. Her actions are criminal! GTTO ToryLies ToryCorruption ToryBrexitDisaster

Well she almost got mortgage rates up to 11%. Besides I’m not sure a Spinal Tap reference is good thing in the case of running the country

Liz Truss turning it up to 11

No one knows who they were, or what they were doing ...

She thought she understood the economy and then found in real time that she didn't. Sounds like all the brextremists....

Bloody jail time is in order. Politicians have to be held to account.

PM Nigel Tufnel

The Tories wanted the UK to die by a thousand cuts for profit, stuff they could find excuses for someone to blame. Liz Truss loaded a machine gun with Tory policies, put the UK against a wall & let rip. Nowhere to hide, the Tories have been exposed, that's why they sacked her.

She did, and blew up the amp.

I’d like 10% of my fucking pension back.

Seems a better approach than turning the economy down to -5, because that suits certain individuals rather than the entire country..... wharva work we live in where liz truss was right...😕

Even more proof that thick Lizzy was a parody.

Gambling is never the answer

Giving money to the British wasn't part of parliaments plan

We might actually look back on her premiership and think what she was trying to do was the correct long-term approach. The debt of the Ponzi scheme economy we have must be paid. All we are doing now is injecting more cash into the it's veins. At some point we must go cold turkey.

Well that went well didn't it

What business background did she have ?

I *knew* that epic farce reminded me of something...

But couldn’t we just make 10 higher?

She started to believe her own persona Her economic ideas were based on wishes rather than ground in reality Id like to fly (wish) but if i jump of a cliff i fall to the bottom ( Reality ) Of course i could spend some time building wings which would be the sensible approach 🤔

Well Truss has got all the time in the world to reflect on her catastrophic premiership that has permanently damaged the U.K. economy and has cased worldwide hilarity. She will be suffering from the Tufton Street blues for a long time.

Like Truss wanted government turned up to 11, but got the maths more disastrously wrong than Spinal Tap's rendition of Stonehenge.

The Peter Principle applies. Truss was a puppet who believed in her own PR supported by a desperate Conservative Party.

TheJohnsonLegacy

Still better than Corbyn

Lasted about as long as a Spinal Tap drummer.

Well, things got better after Jeremy Hunt turned up to 11 Downing Street.

What does that mean?

Liz who?

Shut up your despicable lies!! Liz Truss's Trussonomics was sabotaged by some evil pension fund woke managers, period!! Truss was elected by the vast majority conservative party members!! Her premiership was being stolen by a groups of power grabbing backstabbing MPs!!

Sounds like a lot of acid was kicking around No 10.. it's all that can explain the Trussonomics era madness.

If Liz Truss was the answer… …wtf was the question?!

11 percent

Too bad she ended up with shit sandwich.

Nigel Tufnel got to run the country

We can now confirm IEA n CO are absolute horse sh1t ! And should be nowhere near government. iealondon

Maybe she would be better off working in a chapeau shop

She was the best. The only who could get Britain going. Now everything is mediocre. bringbackliz

where's your report on TheTwitterFiles ? trying to figure out how to sanitise it for the public first aye

arsehole

Was Liz Truss robbed by Sunak ?
