How lifeless is the dogma of fossil-fuelled, neo-liberal, Tufton Street ideologues? Just listen to the dead, empty voice of Truss, repeating “growth” and “stability” like a broken Dalek. bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-pol…

No-mandate Truss increasingly resembles a neoliberal suicide bomber who has slipped into No. 10 with a belt of explosively unpopular policies strapped to her chest. She’ll soon be gone and forgotten but the damage will have been done.

I've had one or two people asking 'Who's funding these groups?'

The answer: something like 8-10 million British people

(...which, incidentally, is roughly hundred times the number of people that voted for Liz Truss to become Prime Minister)

Makes me wonder if there were other fossil fuel interests Kwarteng failed to register. When we looked into this in 2019, he had declared nothing. theguardian.com/environment/ng…
