Can Greater Manchester afford Liz Truss? Why ChrisOsuhMEN says we need a general election
Boris Johnson messed up in many ways. But he never messed up in a way that made you look at your bank statement and think 'that wazzock could cost me my home'.
She says she had to 'act quickly'. She might not have had to act so quickly if so much time hadn't been spent on choosing a leader. A leader who caused 'disruption' - in her own terms - with a bold plan that has never been put before the electorate. The demographic reality of an ageing population makes new demands on health, social care, and housing. How are we going to fund this with less?
We know that there's a belief in 'free market' circles that the public sector wastes a fortune and if only we did this, this and this it would free up loads of money for what really matters. But after 12 years in office, the Conservatives haven't shown how this can be achieved - indeed, despite all those years of austerity, the national debt stands at around £2trn - double what it was when they took office.
Either way, a significant change in direction in policy, approved only by those Tory party members who voted for Truss, should be put to the people. These 'free market think tanks' who are so keen on her agenda, whose interests do they really represent? And is the growth she promises, the growth which we are told we must swallow bitter medicine for, achievable when we have near full employment, supply chain shortages, and war in Ukraine raising the risk of further energy shocks?
