40 years of not paying down the debt what makes you think Truss is the one to have the epiphany of doing something about it.
By this flawed rationale we could decide our competitors are China and erode workers rights, living conditions, rights to political protest.
Taxing those who trousered the most wealth in the racking of up £2.5 trillion of debt as we sold off every meaningful asset the state had is very much not the
politics of envy.

The trouble is that there are enough lefties to around who can possibly sink the Tories in 2024 and the Labour politicians will lap this up.

It's not the lefties who will sink Truss - they'd not have voted for the liar who held the post previously. It's disillusioned people in the middle who will realise that whatever the Conservative party are conserving, it's not their living standards or prospects.
