Because most people are economically illiterate and innumerate, they believe that conservatives are good at governance.

“The biggest similarity is a crisis of competence,” said Kenneth Rogoff, a professor of economics at Harvard. “Liz Truss’s policies may have made sense in some other world. But they just came out of the blue, so they didn’t have any credibility.”

Liz Truss after her resignation speech in October 2022. She was forced out of office by her own Conservative Party in little more than six weeks, the shortest tenure for a prime minister in British history.

#LizTruss is alas probably enjoying the fact that words like "#Trussonomics" are going out of fashion now that Liz Truss Mk 2 has come along; whilst being ambivalent that xyr place in history has been usurped by a bloke whose Department of Dodgy junior programmers didn't realize what =MAX(T2,0.1) in their spreadsheet would do to the likes of the U.K., Australia, and a bunch of south American countries.

mastodon.scotJdeBP (@JdeBP@mastodon.scot)I say! This Liz Truss Mk 2 is quite the upgrade, isn't it? #LizTruss #DonaldJTrump #WorldWarThree #tariffs #Trussonomics

Liz Truss lasted 44 days in office. During those days, she tried and almost succeeded in tanking the UK's economy.
How long do you thing Trump will last?

IMO, he'll do the 4 years and comfortably tank the US on grounds that:
- there is no viable opposition
- lack of economic literacy in US
Please tell me I'm wrong and why

Jagtar Singh Johal in solitary

British subject Jagtar is now confined to solitary despite being innocent

April 2025

Some of you will remember we have campaigned for Jagtar, and he was the subject of our World Day Against the Death Penalty action in 2021, when we wrote to Liz Truss, who was then the Home Secretary. He has now been confined to solitary confinement in India subject to 24 hour guard despite being found innocent of concocted terrorism charges. No evidence was produced and it is alleged he was tortured. He has spent 7 years in gaol already. This new action is double jeopardy.

Jagtar is a British subject and the response of the British government has been weak to say the least. His brother is due to have a meeting with the Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, but will have to wait 7 weeks for the privilege.

His brother said: “I fear for his physical and mental welfare since he is being excluded from contact with all other prisoners. He has been in jail for seven years, acquitted and now he is being further punished. He is being mentally tortured and I am concerned something is going to happen to him. The aim is to break him.”

Anyone who was thinking of appearing on GBN was / is a twat anyway, bit late to find some morals now. Still at least former Tory cabinet members are still there, so nice to see they haven’t grown a conscience
