I suspect Liz Truss is far from stupid - you don't get to Oxford Uni from a state school if you are thick. She studied PPE so it seems unlikely she lacks a grasp of basic economics.
Her ambition for the top job is overwhelming. She is smart enough to tell her electorate (Tory party members) what they want to hear, irrespective of whether it is deliverable - a technique she learned from Boris.
She found maverick economists to support her bizarre views and pretends they are common currency amongst the economically literate.
In my view she is untrustworthy and will contribute towards a Tory loss at the next election.
