Points of order:
1. The "establishment" isn't and never has been "liberal". It's extremely conservative (note small "c").
2. What Truss parroted was right-wing bollocks - trickledown doesn't and never will work - direct from the Tufton Street gang. It's long-run effects would have been even higher inequality and zero (possibly even negative) impacts on economic growth.
3. I can't see how you think the "establishment" was behind Truss' downfall - the Telegraph just gave her 4,000 words on their frontpage in an attempt to rehabilitate her. The Torygraph is establishment.
You admitted you are not an Economics expert on 18/1/23. Explain why you think Trussonomics would have delivered higher growth. I have my popcorn ready and haven't had a good laugh in ages...
