The horror!

     Truss frightens me in a way that her recent disgraced and failed predecessors did not.  Even the liar and narcissist Johnson was selfishly pragmatic.  But Truss, is cut from an altogether bleaker and colder material.  She is driven by a belief that “Growth At All Costs” is something she is willing to be “unpopular” for.  Her central article of faith is that giving those who have, even more, will encourage them to spread their wealth around so that the poorer in society will ultimately benefit.

     The fact that she appears to have a single, solitary economist to back her up in her steely, gimlet-eyed concentration, means nothing.  The fact that the President of The United States went out of his way to Twitter that ‘trickle-down economics has never worked’ means nothing.  Her ‘higher’ truth is The Truth, and It Will Work.  The red meat that she threw to the ravening wolves on the Conservative far right during her interminable election campaign, was not her politicking and out manoeuvring Rish¡, it was what she really believed, and now she is going to make it all happen.  Allegedly.

     Leading her cabinet, the Truss-faithful few of the vitiated lees of the Tory Party, she, like some ranting eschatologist, will lead her people up the mountain of Growth! Growth! Growth! and await The Rapture of unicorn economics, where all manner of things will be well, and growth and prosperity will come to all.

     She is, quite clearly, demented, and the twelve-year Tory catalogue of corrupt disasters will continue, and accelerate – with the taxpayer, as usual, picking up the Tory tab, and the Labour Party having to sort out the Conservative Crap

     I can now begin to understand something of the gibbering horror that Tory voters felt when they considered that someone like Corbyn (many of whose policies I wholeheartedly supported) might actually become PM, as opposed to a disgusting chancer like Johnson!

But Truss, is something different.  Something very different.  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.
