Liz Truss is back (again) and people are wondering how she has the brass neck after being the shortest ever serving PM and tanking the economy.
As Stephen McGann wrote on October 14th: “I’m becoming convinced that Liz Truss is Sacha Baron Cohen’s greatest character yet.”
Liz Truss is back
Anyway, the Growth Commission, she launched back in the summer, is promising “exciting” policies next month.
It will unveil a “Growth Budget” report on 14 November – a week before the Chancellor delivers the Autumn Statement, reports The Mirror.
Co-Chairman of the Growth Commission Douglas McWilliams said the group’s report will challenge “conventional thinking which has proved unable to rise to the challenge of fixing the UK’s low growth problem thus far.
“At a time when politicians of all parties are at a loss to explain how to generate growth, this is why it is so important to be putting forward an alternative that does provide answers, backed by leading economists from around the world.”

Some might want to add a decade or so…
