This Lady’s For Turning

The two phrases I associate most with Margaret Thatcher are “The lady’s not for turning” and “There is no alternative”(often expressed as an acronym–TINA). Liz Truss may dress like Thatcher, but she acts more like a Tin Lady. Her U-turn came in less than a month.

Maybe Marx was wrong–history repeats itself as farce the first time.

Truss had better hope for a 2020s version of the Falklands War, or an existential battle with the unions, because otherwise, all she has to run on is her hatred of wokeness. That doesn’t exactly resonate under the present circumstances.
