{UAH} Sad to see Truss go in such a short time

Yes, the Ukraine war has,undoubtedly, affected all economies in Europe including England. But PM Truss has also made some bad decisions, despite her good education and background.

In one month, Liz Truss has managed to make Boris look good, tank an already weakened economy, and make her party unelectable for the forseeable future. 

She inherited the leadership of a country that was already badly damaged by the fallout from Brexit, the pandemic, high energy prices, and high inflation, and she managed to make things even worse.

Being a UK PM isn't easy, I think. One would rather lead Uganda where there are no serious  checks and balances. You have also got a lot of people (some colleagues) plotting against you -- digging dirt on you.

 That's why some resignations have real explanations that can only be known by insiders -- the real reasons are revealed a few years after everyone involved is probably dead. 

For instance,  Chamberlain resigned before WW2 -- officially, we were told it was because he couldn't handle Hitler,  but the reality was that he had cancer and he was dying. 

With Truss, it's mainly bad economics, i think. The deranged "mini budget" she cooked up with her short lived chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, simultaneously crashed the pound, and led the Bank of England to raise interest rates.

Personally, I was looking forward to her prime ministership, because she inspired one of my young daughters. Her CV is inspiring!
