Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has called for the abolition of the Supreme Court, revoking the Human Rights Act, and the UK quitting the European Court of Human Rights. Truss believes power has shifted from elected politicians to unelected bureaucrats. She also expressed doubts that slowing down her economic reforms would have changed her fate, attributing her downfall to 'establishment forces.' Truss's economic policies faced criticism, with some blaming her for a spike in repossessions. Despite her past challenges, Truss remains vocal about the need for 'serious change' in the British government and the Conservative party.
Liz Truss' mini-budget crashed our economy and now Rishi Sunak is doing it all over again with his completely unfunded £46 billion promise to abolish National Insurance. He doesn't deny the costs, but won't tell us where the money is coming from. We need answers! #PMQs
The Tory Party’s obsession with wild, unfunded tax cuts crashed the economy. And Rishi Sunak is ready to do it all over again with his completely unfunded £46 billion promise to abolish National Insurance #PMQs
.@RishiSunak again insists National Insurance + income tax amount to 'double taxation'. But asked 3 times by @Keir_Starmer, refuses to deny he would fund abolition of NI via cuts to NHS, state pension or a tax rise. Surprised the PM didn't shut that down with clear denial.
'Liz Truss has a long list of people to blame for the economic misery' says Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer. The PM responds saying Labour's 'economic policies would be a disaster for Britain, and working people would pay the price' https://t.co/vtBiG103Yb #PMQs 📺 Sky 501 https://t.co/pVuwSaAAkW
Except Liz Truss didn’t fail because her ideas were rejected. Her libertarian philosophy is that scrapping regulations, shrinking the state and reducing taxes will boost growth. But her budget only did the third, easiest bit, and she had no credibility on the first two. https://t.co/3p9VfUryfP
'Liz Truss seems to operate in a universe where she's never met Liz Truss.' @mrjamesob wonders how the former PM can say 'the power exercised in Britain by unelected people is a scandal' when she 'was unelected on a national level and nodded through by a hereditary monarch'. https://t.co/urHgoiF8ZM

As Tories claim credit for falling inflation. Prices not falling Highest tax in 70 years Mortgage payments going up. Now Rishi Sunak’s reckless £46 billion unfunded plan to scrap National Insurance risks crashing the economy, re-running the disastrous Liz Truss experiment.
Review | Liz Truss’s book blames everyone – except Liz Truss 'Ten Years to Save the West' has no apologies, no awareness, and no ideas 🖋 @IsabelHardman https://t.co/Xm12aXKl0C
Liz Truss & the Conservatives crashed our economy. Families and businesses are still paying the cost for her disastrous time as Prime Minister. Yet she says she still has 'unfinished business' & wouldn't rule out running again for leader. Britain deserves better than this. https://t.co/F1GeLpUKWW
Liz Truss smashed our economy, skyrocketing mortgage rates. Her disastrous mini-budget led to a 25.6% rise in repossessions last year, throwing countless families onto the streets. Labour will bring in fiscal locks to ensure this never happens again. https://t.co/BTzme8jk1U

Rishi Sunak has not learnt any lessons from Liz Truss's disastrous mini budget that sent mortgages spiralling. Tory chaos is costing people thousands and in some cases, the roof over their heads. Labour will never gamble with the public finances https://t.co/fYcldapbwN

Truss's mini-budget lit the fuse for a mortgage meltdown. Now Rishi Sunak is repeating history with £46bn in unfunded tax breaks. @UKLabour will introduce a fiscal lock to protect families from these reckless economic experiments that jeopardise the dream of home ownership. https://t.co/GabXulI5hR
Liz Truss’ disastrous mini-budget in 2022 has led to a spike in repossessions. Her victory tour around the world is a bizarre response. Rishi Sunak’s £46 billion unfunded tax cut is the last thing that home owners in this country need.

Liz Truss's economic policies were utterly wrong-headed. I'm glad that her brand of neoliberalism did not take root. But on the point about a transfer of power from elected politicians to unelected and unaccountable officials and institutions, she is undeniably correct.
