| Hi Friend, Liz Truss Goes For Full House in Buzzword Bingo " ...
says Tom Peck writing in The Times this week ..
Members
queued round the block at the Tory conference for the former PM’s
bulletproof epistemology, she was definitely right and everybody
else was wrong.
The huge queues are the vindication she requires.
She was prime minister for six weeks, her party lost 200 seats, but the
number of people who still want to listen to her are proof that she was
definitely right about everything. It was all the world’s fault, not
hers.
The event was a Q&A hosted by the Telegraph’s sketch
writer, Tim Stanley. “I’m going to plough straight in,” he said. “Is
Britain now on the road to socialism?”
"Socialism is bad. We’re not just on the road to it. We are already in it,” said Truss.
She
smiled nervously. Her blow-dried hair fluttered under the stage lights
and she launched straight in to her greatest hits. Nothing was her
fault. It was all the establishment, all the deep state.
Labour
shows itself to be “unserious” when it dares to blame the failure of
the mini-budget on her and not on the Bank of England and the Office for
Budget Responsibility (who she banned from looking at it).
She also claimed that the election would have gone better if she’d still been in charge.
“The
problem, she explained, was “the neo-Marxist orthodoxies of wokery”.
That’s verbatim, almost a full house of Liz Truss bingo in just six
words.
The Q&A finished, she made her way out of the room,
past a bank of reporters from every conceivable broadcaster and
podcaster, waiting to doorstep her. None of them were gifted a word.
Within seconds she was out the door and gone.
