PotsAndPansRobot @potsandpansrobot.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The brief Truss premiership really fucked this country more than most realise. By spectacularly providing evidence for the superficially compelling argument that 'deviation from the fiscal rules' is ruinous, she's given these twats the excuse to never do expansive economic policy ever again. 141 0

PotsAndPansRobot @potsandpansrobot.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I do think 'the reason' our betters have alighted on for why we're so damn ungovernable at present, is that they struggle with control of the narrative these days.
