Our government announced new economic policies that have been judged extremely harshly by everyone. The public perception of them is also severely negative which increases the risk of the alternative party gaining control next time around.

I really hoped the new leader would be the one with an economics background instead of the friendly optimist. Navigating out of brexit and covid is difficult and the leader sets the tone for how we're going to approach it.

The market deciding the UK is financially unsound seems a legitimate response to our strategy of copy the wise ostrich. Hopefully the people who chose Truss have made enough of a loss this week to reconsider their priorities.
