This book was written in a rush and then hastily extended and edited during the disastrous Truss government. It shows in places, reading like a tabloid opinion column and lacking depth. It’s fair enough given how little time they had to write it I guess.
Liz Truss comes across as someone who enjoys being oppositional, and doesn’t really understand human relationships very well. She also doesn’t seem in any way interested in detail or the responsibilities of office. A large amount of time seemed to be spent trying to get the best photo for her Instagram feed.
She seems to have a very simple supply-side economics mental model that she has confused with actual reality. It doesn’t seem like her ideology is anything more than “cutting taxes makes the line go up”. I’m no economist, but I’m pretty sure there’s more to it than that.
The final sentence describes the Conservative party after her time in office as like The Lord of the Flies, which I find pretty amusing. I also liked the anecdote about “Things Can Only Get Better” being played at the party for the Conservative LGBT group at the party conference.
