As if things weren't bad enough, the new government appears to be making it worse. Will they take any notice of the warnings or will they carry on with their crazy ideas?

Venturi Swirl:
They are wilfully engaging in disaster capitalism and they will not stop unless or until they are removed at the next general election.

Well they are known to be fans of Thatcher who, along with Keith Joseph, was a fan of Milton Friedman. If they follow Thatcher's lead then there's a lot more pain coming. What Truss doesn't have is the support that Thatcher had in the country at large.

Given the gloomy UK economic news I suggest it would be a really good idea to keep pumping our money & weapons into Ukraine. I'm not sure how that will help exactly but presumably someone in the government knows.

Thatcher’s popularity began to wane rapidly after her 1979 election victory and only began to turn around thanks to the Falklands War.  Perhaps that’s what Truss is banking on:  victory in Ukraine with Zelensky giving us much of the credit.
