Liz Truss has sent a legal letter to Keir Starmer demanding he stops making “false and defamatory” claims that she crashed the economy.
The former prime minister sent a six-page “cease and desist” letter accusing Starmer of harming her reputation and contributing to her losing her South West Norfolk seat in the general election.
Didn’t he just do what she campaigned on? They were her policies.
They were his policies, too. Both signed off on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannia_Unchained .
He is still responsible though. His entire job is that he probably vets economic policy, he can advise against doing something and if he doesn’t like it he can resign. If he’s just going to do whatever the prime minister tells him, then what the hell is the point in his job?
