    If you avoided paying £350 owed to the taxman, you could be prosecuted because you can't have people going around costing the country £350 it needs to pay for public services. But if you cost the country 10 million times more than that, not only don't get prosecuted, you can turn up at a prestigious institution and give a speech and be applauded by hundreds of powerful people.

      Liz Truss was right the days of cheap money are well over.
      The banks globally since 2008 have been printing money like no tommorow keeping interest rates artificially low which could never continue for ever.
      Truss also claims 60% of the expenditure in her mini budget was on energy subsidies on Business and domestic customers.

    Every single homeowner or renter who loses their home because their monthly bond repayments or rent has gone through the roof, or has to send their kids to bed hungry because they cannot afford food for them needs to give this ... woman ... a call. And then in simple words tell her what she is full of, what she is talking, and what she has cost each and every one of you, and most people in the UK.
    In passing, I hope her "book" is printed on absorbent paper.

      ​ @agt155 pretty much. 3.5% at the most. We're back to 2008 levels of mortgage rates but without the lending criteria or affordability for first time buyers

      It's hard to blame inflation on Truss seeing as it's a global problem that started way before she was in power. We need to look at who wanted to hand out so much furlough cash.

    She must be supported by some very powerful people to be confidant enough and hard faced enough to shamelessly try to give advice on economics.Regarding her understanding of how most of us feel toward her, i dont beieve she considers our opinion to be important. She is acting in the interests of the few extremely ealthy bankers and corporations. With this backing she can continue to fail upwards,

    Just imagine how it must feel to be her parent. Both are highly intelligent, left-of-centre, educated people who tried to give their daughter a decent upbringing, but regression towards the mean has resulted in Liz - a meaner fool one could never imagine.

    The problem with Liz Truss is that you can see the strings. Both physically and figuratively.
