As I understand it, there was a spike caused by the mini budget but there was also a shift in global interest rates. So she made things worse, but the idea we'd still be on rock bottom interest rates without her is not really supportable - she just accelerated the shift to the new higher rates that would have happened anyway

You are wrong. Just look at the graph on this page.

The spike in Sep 2022 was a direct result of Truss' mini-budget. Mortgage rates have only slowly dropped since then.
