Liz Truss was and is right? Why is the left so scared from her?
Liz Truss was and is right!
Liz Truss’s speeches and interviews in America have greatly upset sensitive, delicate individuals, particularly those within the Labour Party. Despite being just another MP without any government position, she is still the No.1 enemy of socialists.
Liz Truss was correct in her approach to the mini-budget. Claims that she had single-handedly ruined the economy within a week are blatant lies, fabricated perhaps out of a need to find fault. The economic statistics they accused her of became a reality within six months after she left office. We are still standing.
The people who manipulate markets are like you and I driven by the desire for profit. Even those who may appear to have adopted a leftist stance, such as Blackrock, haven’t forgotten this fundamental concept. They simply pursue profit in alternative ways, often aligning themselves with influential figures. They may espouse beliefs in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), but their influence runs deep, akin to that of the so-called deep state.
Liz Truss’s growth program effectively cut off lucrative green initiatives that would have lined the pockets of certain individuals and companies at the expense of taxpayers. They were not pleased with this redirection of funds.
Both the IMF and the EU, still collaborating, were against tax reductions and VAT cuts, fearing it would put the UK ahead of others. Their ideology is rather to lose collectively; instead one country could become more successful than others in Europe.
The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer faces pressure from various quarters. He will have to listen to the IMF and the EU. He is not a disruptive character. He believes stability is more important than beating them in their own game and bringing prosperity and growth. Hence, any tax cuts he implements may be merely symbolic, offering little relief to the people.
Labour’s ire towards Liz Truss stems from her revelation regarding those who played a part in her departure from office. Labour’s involvement is clear, as is the influence of unelected international bureaucrats. If not for the alignment of around 100 Conservative MPs with such undesirable elements, Truss might still be in power, potentially securing a victory in the next general election.
The Conservative government’s attempts to adopt social democratic measures in a bid for popularity have backfired.
Conservative Governments since 2010 decided to park Conservatism aside and try to implement social democratic measures so that we become very popular and the left and right vote for us. It was a pathetic wish, forgetting that they were elected because they were Conservatives so the people wanted to see Conservative policies. Not price caps by the state, not nationalization of railways, not putting people on the police register as haters, not mandatory targets for Net Zero.
Conservative members remain conservative at heart, while the government’s policies have drifted away from this stance. The government most of the time ignored the party membership wishes or selections.
Some people in the party identify libertarianism as extremism. It’s essential to understand that a belief in conservatism naturally aligns with classic liberalism.
Labour’s reaction to Liz Truss’s speech at CPAC underscores their animosity towards true conservatism. While there are around 80 Conservative MPs with good intentions, few are as outspoken as Truss. She continues to champion conservatism, and it’s crucial to support her against attacks.
If Sunak can bring back the principles he espoused during his time as a junior housing minister when he spoke to a bunch of us in then Sir Henry Bellingham’s constituency, we would be flying to victory in the general election.
To win the next general election, Sunak just needs to remind himself of what he used to say and put it into practice. That’s all.
