    Liz Truss is the outcome from a self reinforcing echo chamber of the Tufton Street-based operatives. That she could have been one of the authors of Britannia Unchained,
    and no-one ever told her and her co-authors that this bundle of repressive ideas, (they do not constitute a coherent policy), means they have all served as useful idiots.
    Singapore-on-Thames was never a viable goal. Singapore has not chosen to erect trade barriers with its immediate neighbours and is only viable because the small city state can leech off of its much more populous neighbours, not just in trade but in resources. Malaysia provides much of the water Singapore needs.

    The problem we have is that there is no sanction for being so bad as Liz Truss & Kwasi Kwarteng. They can continue as MPs as long as their local constituency party supports them, and they will continue to be funded by financiers who can easily afford to subsidise their activities. Shorting Sterling and exploiting tax loopholes ensures profits are sent offshore to avoid any contribution to the Exchequer.
