May have been somewhat overstated.

Liz Truss is a thatcherite who doesn’t understand thatcherism
as long as she doesn't take a dump in the middle of Trafalgar square she'll be the PM in a few weeks so it doesn't really matter.
Yep.
Abandoning a plan less than 24 hours after announcing it does not show much resolve.
Truss has been schooled by her time with Johnson. He was a master at introducing a policy without thinking it through, and then having to make a U-turn. Looks like more of the same of that whoever wins.
Wearing royal blue is the only comparison one could make between Truss and Thatcher.
Isn’t the Cookie Monster a royal blue colour too?
He’s a Muppet as well……
'A spokesperson for the leadership hopeful said there had been "a wilful misrepresentation of our campaign".'

Whose fault was that?
It has been cogently argued that Sunak is a lot closer to having a Thatcherite view of the economy than Truss.
Thatcher like Sunak was from a family of shopkeepers, who believed in not spending beyond ones means.
Anyway, it is possibly time the "Thatcher" fixation was downplayed I suspect. By whoever.
// Sunak was from a family of shopkeepers //

Nope. His grandfather worked all his life for the Inland Revenue, while his father was a GP.
His mother ran a pharmacy. That was their business
Liz Truss's parents were "left wing intellectuals"
I don't really hold much store by either of these facts it has to be said, but I think the Thatcher comparison in the case of Truss is based more on superficiality.
// Truss's parents were "left wing intellectuals" //

Close.

Her father is an emeritus professor of pure mathematics at the University of Leeds, while her mother was a nurse and a teacher.
??
Are you saying they were Tory thickos?
ichkeria
//??
Are you saying they were Tory thickos?//

One could retort with a saying about apples and trees in regards to their offspring …….
Nope.

I supported CND in the 1980s (hundreds of thousands did). That doesn’t make a maths lecturer and his nurse wife ‘intellectuals’. They supported the Liberals, so not that left wing.
Both Truss’s parents were left wing.
Tho I agree that that fact alone doesn’t make her fail the “Thatcher test”
His mother ran a pharmacy. That was their business

and now it is worf £1.2bn - - oh oh, he did marry money too.....
// That doesn’t make a maths lecturer //
you mean - - - - he cd add !
