In the latest leg of her attempted political comeback, Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister will attack the “woke culture” that has taken root in the economies of the UK and US RichardVaughan1 reports:
on Wednesday, Ms Truss will lament the sluggish growth in the UK, which she says is nearly 30 per cent lower than in the US.“The disease is ever larger government. And we have to ask ourselves: are we still match fit to take on China and to take on the whole concept of state capitalism?
And she will add: “The sad truth is that we have seen stagnation, redistributionism and woke culture taking hold in businesses and the economy in the UK and the US… It results in more tax, more subsidies, more regulation.” Such an approach has emboldened the likes of Russia and China, she will argue, adding: “[Russian President Vladimir] Putin and Xi have made it clear they are allies against Western capitalism. That is why Western leaders visiting President Xi to ask for his support in ending the war is a mistake. And it is a sign of weakness. Instead, our energies should go into taking more measures to support Taiwan.
