Part of the fun of Odd Lots is the eccentric selection of guests. Mostly they are good, sometimes not. Hard to bat 1.000. I wouldn't have bothered with Truss, who as far as I can tell is not a person who is likely to say anything interesting, but maybe it will be better than I expect.
Oh, she said some interesting things! None of which I agreed with but definitely interesting. The quote about having her homework marked by someone who doesn’t necessarily agree with her…her suggesting the British press were lefty liberals, and why her truth isn’t just taken as the gospel truth…lots
The British press are lefty liberals? Did you read a UK newspaper recently?? The only people marking her homework were bond vigilantes and she got an F. Reeves is getting a D and the "lefty liberals" aren't sparing her. Do you read any UK media?
I did mention just prior that I don’t agree with her sentiments but they were fascinating to here posited as her reality
She is just copying the US far-right strategy of calling the center-right leftist to normalize far-right positions. I think it is unfair to call Truss a lettuce. She is more like a sponge.

Bunch of communists.
her "homework" was marked by the FX markets when sterling collapsed to parity with the dollar immediately.
