The Guardian view on Liz Truss’s premiership: a mistake Britain would be stupid to repeat | Editorial

Ms Truss’s tome is unlikely to deliver the mea culpa the public deserves for crashing the pound and sending interest rates spiralling upwards a year ago.

Ms Truss blames her downfall on a Trump-esque conspiracy involving a leftwing economic establishment of British business, the International Monetary Fund and US president, Joe Biden.

Amazingly, Trussonomics is attempting a comeback via the pages of The Daily Telegraph and under the auspices of the Heritage Foundation, a powerful conservative thinktank based in Washington.

The Conservative Growth Group, run by former Truss cabinet ministers, wows rightwing audiences with calls to abolish inheritance tax.

One pollster reported that a focus group participant insisted the former chancellor Sajid Javid – not Ms Truss – was prime minister “for a month and ‘screwed it all up’”.

But those who argue Ms Truss’s time in office was not all that bad for Britain must think that the Titanic’s voyage was a success because some people survived on life rafts.
