 The Budget - James Loveless
"Labour 33 points ahead of Tories in latest opinion poll."

Just noticed that and for some reason found it deeply worrying. Before her appointment, Truss's economic illiteracy/innumeracy were fully on display. I really thought that somehow someone sensible would manage to fudge her idiocy, but despite reports of arguments between her and Kwarteng, it seems that the UK has been thrown into financial turmoil.

Only a miracle will reverse the situation unless some u-turns are made, but the chances of cancelling that 33-point deficit before the next general election seem pretty remote to me. Truss has nailed her colours to the mast, so whether she fails utterly, or just avoids total disaster after modifying her policies, she is toast and so are the Tories.

I just don't believe in the miracle that she has got it right. Until she was PM I thought Labour would be a poor alternative.
