In full: Liz Truss in conversation with Tim Stanley at Tory conference 2024

[@JayPatel-lz7wz]

She says she'd have won the election, couldn't even win her safe seat🤣🤣🤡🤡

[@Gavin48]

@JayPatel-lz7wz she never said that. She said they wouldn't have done as badly. She is correct, though. Cause Farage only came back due to Rishi & the Conservatives not being Conservatives.

[@DCDPM]

If Farage hadn’t come back then Labour would have won over 500 seats. Farage actually mitigated some of the damage by standing as leader of Reform. Truss would have led The Tories to near extinction.

An utterly appalling soft ball interview given by an utterly appalling man, given to an utterly appalling woman.

[@Gavin48]

The Bank of England is responsible. Truss is a scapegoat. Do your research, and don't just listen to propaganda

[@123bwlch]

Came on for a laugh.

[@DavidKennaway1]

Rubbish. It's because the US upped interest rates. The BOE didn't respond and the pound tanked as investors sold bonds to invest for a higher return in the US. That led to the BOE buying bonds to steady the markets. (The BOE resold those bonds later and made billions in profit). Thar happened before the Truss budget. Your mortgage went up because we now track the US rates just like the rest of the world does. In fact the BOE made another mistake 2 weeks ago when the US reduced interest rates and we didn't follow. That is nothing to do with Truss.

[@Derek-Trotter]

@@DavidKennaway1i agree but not on the tracking the US part. It looks like it as all the West went down the ugly QE route. What sets interest rates is inflation not the BoE.

Please stop with the Truss enablement. She is incompetent, should never have been allowed to get near the levers of power and should not be given any time to pretend she is anything other than woeful.

[@alexdavis1541]

Every time I hear Truss my opinion of her goes up. Initially I allowed the establishment propaganda about her to get the better of me. This has changed. She is becoming a prominent voice in expressing an understanding of the problem of managerialism (ref. James Burnham and Samuel Francis, amongst others) and its degrading influence on the west. However she focuses on the power of the civil service and draws less attention to the power of the "liberal" media, academia and security services. And in this particular discussion she fell short of referencing the increasing power of supranational organisations and NGOs. I think also she may not, as a free marketeer, want to recognise (yet) the inappropriate societal influence of the corporations. All of these agents pile yet more of their faux liberalism on our increasingly damaged society. I haven't read her book yet so much of this might be covered there. Whatever the case she understands the situation at a deeper level than most, and is trying to point us in the right direction

[@michaels8638]

Low tax policies will not produce enough growth to drive the UK economy back to a top spot in global economies . To rely on growth from investment and trickle down economics has been proven not to work in the UK as 70 years of decline have proven, this is in part because of our mindset , which is adverse to medium risk management and our love of low risk investing, partly due to not having the money for medium risk investing and our attitude to people who fail or didn’t win initially in business, in the US its accepted as a learning curve and many billionaires failed at least once. As two of these reasons are cultural mindsets and we don’t have the money we cannot follow the US path we need our own path, which is firm regulation and higher tax for top earners as well as tax on globalised companies. If these companies then choose not to sell or invest in the UK 3rd party sellers will take up these markets as well as our own independent companies moving into the space, eventually the leading brands will accept our terms as it’s still missed profit and capitalism demands continued growth so this will force the eventual return of any brand not willing initially to accept UK terms or they buy out or into the alternative companies who are making profit in the space left by their withdrawal. Either way the UK earnings growth from large market segments were currently none or minuscule tax revenue is received.

[@michaelhughes4466]

I was sorry Liz left Downing Street, and agree with nearly everything she says here, except supporting Trump. It may be a case of making a virtue of necessity, but as a pro Ukraine free trader she has more in common with Nikki Haley, hopefully the next President but one. Trump is more in the Joseph Kennedy/Charles Lindberg tradition.

[@malcolmmann436]

I came here for a laugh, but she's actually got a coherent argument. It's partly Thatcherite (the ratchet of socialism) and partly Bennite (deep-state establishment preventing elected politicians from affecting change). Her big problem was she was elected by a tiny section of the population (the Tory membership) with no mandate, and no major support in the parliamentary party, and then tried to be uber-radical. What followed was a very British coup, which she should have anticipated, and which we should be grateful for, because her ultra-right-wing policies would have spelled disaster for Britain culturally, socially and economically.

She was spot on about cheese. We make fantastic cheese and we don't promote or export enough of it! It's quite difficult for us to compete with other countries that have huge production...we are more artisanal and small scale business so dont benefit from scale and reducing overheads, however, we really should support our own cheese industry domestically, and we should most definitely be developing overseas markets.

[@osric1730]

@@shelleyphilcox4743 We had those markets, a bunch of clowns voted to get rid of them.

[@shelleyphilcox4743]

@@osric1730 Clearly we didnt have those markets, because they are 1) big quality and low cost cheese producers 2) are loyal consumers of their domestic producers in a way that we do not do in the UK Thus a fairly saturated market it was difficult to compete in...not least because they receive a lot of subsidy over the years via the CAP for the ingredients at a scale UK farming cant compete with either, being a relatively small sector by comparison to France, Germany, Italy etc

Totally untrue. The BOE resold all of the bonds they bought at a profit so it cost us nothing. The bank got us into trouble before the Truss budget by not tracking US interest rates casing the sell of of bonds and the pound tanked. Truss was the scapegoat to cover for the BOE who now say it was their fault. The Tories also blamed her si they could get Sunak in who was rejected by the membership. Her policies, although not implemented were correct.
