I remember this. Whilst I'm not British, I quite liked Kwasi's bold, ambitious budget. And how the f@c! does Madam Truss who spent months pushing her case to get selected/elected, defeats Sunak and is then replaced by him in a without having to repeat the whole charade.
As an observer from across the pond, it never made sense to me about the speed of Truss's demise, but your explanation rings true and thorough. Alas, I fear things are not going to get any better under your current administration either.
Tim, Thank your for this article. The best explanation I have read of what really happened when the Truss government folded and the underlying risks that were actually involved. Keep up the good work! Best, Mike.
A fascinating and depressing read in equal measure. I also remember the "Dead Zone" film and it's ominous foresight. I don't know where it will all end, my guess is we are back to eating berries and hiding up trees from wandering bears.
Starring two of the 90’s finest: Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey.
Shit wait — no. That’s Drop Zone.
Still, some parallels to your story Tim…
Both ultimately require a certain suspension of disbelief.
Like accepting the premise that Gary Busey is some kind of elite ops executing precision skydiving robberies and perfectly timed 30,000-foot jumps from aircraft.
At some point the whole thing simply stops being plausible.
