Nothing in her pledges will foster the growth that this country so urgently needsLiz Truss has observed the dynamics of today?s Tory party ? and the media and thinktank ecosystem that supports it ? as a minister under three prime ministers. It is the Brexit right?s Taliban-like belief in the righteousness of its cause that drives the party.

The only way for a Tory leader to sustain the leadership of what is ever more obviously a deranged and factionalised political movement is to govern from the hard right. It will end in failure.The epicentre will be the economy. Her uncontroversial stated aim is growth of 2.5%. Consensus stops there.

Truss is the insurgent carrying the Thatcherite flame who will put the world to rights. Continue reading...
