She's a disrupter and has promised tax cuts from day one of her premiership - and we all know how that plays out. She's courted the old European Research Group of Tory MPs who are the Corporate-aligned Libertarian wing of the party now angling to roll back emissions and net zero commitments because it's "bad for the economy", which Truss supports. Someone suggested to her that there's 'no economy on a dead planet' but she chided them for trying to cancel her.

What's the thing about megalostoma trussii and Jewish values?
Of course, she might find that haredim and other ultraorthodox jews are very consevative, but then again, you'll not find one of their womenfolk opening it like that in public or meddling in politics... I hear the noise of cognitive dissonance in the background...

Bah, I wouldn't truss up her skirts if she paid me to... and even if I did, I'd NEVER let that mouth get near my little soldier.

Leaked audio reveals Liz Truss said British workers needed ‘more graft’

Liz Truss, now the Tory leadership frontrunner, launched an astonishing broadside against British workers, saying they needed “more graft” and suggesting they lacked the “skill and application” of foreign rivals, the Guardian can reveal.

In a leaked recording, the then No 2 at the Treasury also risked pitting Londoners against the rest of the country by attempting to explain the difference between the capital and other regions in the UK.

Truss, who has put patriotism at the heart of her leadership campaign, suggested the disparity was “partly a mindset or attitude thing”.

The comments were made when Truss was the chief secretary to the Treasury, a post she held until 2019. In the recording she intimated that there seemed little desire to change the working culture so that the UK could become more prosperous. .

I assume that graft is what they get taught in their expensive schools the lower classes can't afford to attend.

Yeah, the difference between the American and English usage could be confusing, but basically she's buying into the right-wing narrative that society operates as a Darwinian meritocracy with the best (rather than the minted, or just the lucky) always floating naturally to the top.

Even though she's the obvious exception to that rule, if it's a comfort to her then we should let her have her moment. :)

Whereas, in reality, just as in making soup, the scum rises to the top...
