I sense that your view is based on the span between "left" (which we understand) and "right", which is perfectly reasonable.

So Nads is saying that Boris was bigger State then Truss wants to be. She's a Conservative and should be criticising Boris rather than Truss (who seems useless to me, btw) for trying to release us from the pervasive state.

Having said that, apart from high taxes because we have low productivity/growth, the real pervasive state is police behaviour in focusing on Twitter (armchair policing), bursting into people's homes, rather than taking on the bad guys. Almost "far-right" - under Boris.
