Liz Truss is back with plan to save economy – no laughing at the back

The ex-prime minister, Liz Truss, whose fiscal plans caused chaos in the UK economy, is back to save the economy.

If at first you don’t succeed…

Liz, who was outlasted by a lettuce as PM, tweeted: “How to increase GDP per capita is a core challenge for the UK and others. Advanced economies have seen declining growth over decades. I’ve convened @TheGrowthComm to analyse policy proposals and indicate what’s required to deliver growth. https://growth-commission.com“

It's not even lunchtime yet and so far Liz Truss is back to tell us how to run an economy and Nadine Dorries is writing a book with a non-fiction publisher about an imaginary plot to unseat Boris Johnson.
