Liz Truss blaming 'left-wing' for downfall destroyed by economist

Like a sh*t Terminator Liz Truss is back. She announced yesterday, in the Sunday Telegraph, that she was ‘brought down by the left-wing economic establishment.’

She claimed she was never given a “realistic chance” to implement her radical tax-cutting agenda by her party and by a “powerful economic establishment … that had shifted left-wards”

Her ‘comeback; has been trashed by a LOT of people including Professor Danny Blanchflower who was previously on the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee.

Liz Truss crashed the economy, adding hundreds to your monthly mortgage whilst trashing your pension.

Yet somehow in tomorrow's Telegraph, she was bought down by ‘the left-wing economic establishment’.#TomorrowsPapersToday pic.twitter.com/jqQoQoHDbr

He said the article was the “most appalling nonsense I’ve ever read” and rubbished her claim nobody warned her the economy would suffer under her plans.”

He also said: “My main conclusion from this is that it is important that Truss is never allowed to hold any sort of job that has to do with economics or thinking.”

Looks like the IEA blocked him for calling out the ideas that come out of 55 Tufton Street.

Excellent @iealondon blocked me for telling the truth about them and their support for trickledown economics polluting the world and given they pretend to be a charity would be a good idea to come clean on whether they are funded by the mafia the Russians and other bad actors pic.twitter.com/jgfdw9agWW

Sky interview

"It's interesting to argue that these were the views of the left wing establishment. These basically were the views of the government that she was a part of."

Reactions

You could see Liz Truss as utterly deluded – and she is. But her delusions could not be sustained without a national infrastructure of delusion, built by the billionaire press. https://t.co/lrWc49Mg1q

Liz Truss releases 4,000-word essay defending her premiership. No word yet from the lettuce.

Pissing myself laughing, '…you only got nil because you started with nil…' a savage, eloquent evisceration of the Truss pity party, thoroughly deserved.

@D_Blanchflower Soooo refreshing.

No tiptoeing around being professionally tactful, essentially, "Liz, you blew it".

Thank you DB.

Prof @D_Blanchflower on Liz Truss's "left wing establishment" nonsense:

"Entirely delusional. Counter to reality."

"These were the views of the government Truss was part of…"

"Markets don't like clueless amateurs."

"A global laughing stock."pic.twitter.com/BTBYNtn0aj

Wonderful rebuttal of Liz Truss' column on Sunday who tried to blame others for her trickle-down policies failing. Fully agree with @D_Blanchflower here. Showing to my classes for their viewing. https://t.co/MuUaIs5ZCk
