Who really rules the UK? Liz Truss, in this extraordinary forthright interview with Andrew Gold, recounts how, on taking office, she was immediately blocked by a retrogressive but powerful ‘economic establishment’. She goes on to discuss all aspects of what she sees to be the collapse on democracy in Britain.
She comes over as the first Tory in years to ‘get it’; not to be at war with the people but on our side – on energy, mass immigration, Islamism, quangos and civil servants who need sacking but can’t be because of the law, a judiciary which has been accorded far too much political power. She does not mince her words.
The contrast between her down to earth assuredness, clarity, clear thinking, sense of direction and forceful presentation with Kemi Badenoch’s ‘muscular liberalism’ intellectual confusion, is stark. To take just one radical but necessary example, Truss says a new parliament (a new government in power) must be prepared to reverse 50 years of law, ‘most of major laws passed in the last 40 or 50 years’ if Britain is to return to democracy and prosperity. She is right.
This is a very different woman to the one who was ignominiously bullied out of office. She has learnt the hard way. Now she’s using her time in the wilderness profitably. This interview, I predict, is not the last but one of many to come. She is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with.
