UK Teeters On Brink Of Second Crisis In Two Years
Liz Truss was in the news Thursday.
Apparently, it's illegal to suggest she crashed the UK economy during her comically brief stint at No. 10. Or at least her attorneys imagine such assertions might be illegal in some contexts.
Truss's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter to Keir Starmer demanding he stop making "false and defamatory" claims about her 49 days as premier. I was going to say her "disastrous" 49 days as premier, but that might get me a love letter from her legal team.
The memo
Lot of leverage and speculation in the system that mostly benefits the .01 percent. Higher for longer just might be the medicine we need.
