Abstract

Truss — whose stay in 10 Downing Street was infamously shorter than the shelf life of a lettuce — did not mention the impending economic catastrophe which she wrought in only a few weeks. She did not reflect on how she presented Britons with soaring mortgages and energy costs, or how she lost the confidence of businesses and financial markets as well as that of many Conservative Party colleagues.
