The obvious next step should not be to engage a “dynamic and creative law firm” to compile these calumnies in a digestible six-page document which can be efficiently distributed to anyone who cares to pay attention.
His repetition of these remarks has, she claims, harmed her reputation and was one of the factors which led to her defeat in her South West Norfolk constituency at 2024’s general election.
Furthermore, Dr Andrew Lilico, executive director of Europe Economics, is quoted as saying in a report that any disruption was due to circumstances over which Truss had “no control”, and that “the LDI crisis” – the excessive reliance on liability-driven investments – “would have happened at some point in any event”.
What can be stated with certainty is that three weeks to the day after announcing the Growth Plan, Kwarteng, one of Truss’s closest and oldest allies in the House of Commons, was dismissed as chancellor and replaced by Jeremy Hunt. The new chancellor’s subsequent announcements and Autumn Statement reversed every tax cut except the reduction of national insurance contributions and the raising of the stamp duty threshold, reduced the energy price cap and set out cuts in public spending.
In any event, that misses the point. Politics is defined not by what happens but what we remember happening. It is widely perceived by the electorate that Truss’s record-breakingly short premiership was a disaster, and that the disaster revolved around an enormous economic miscalculation. Whether it is described as a “crash” or not is as important as the precise arrangement of RMS Titanic’s deckchairs.

The subtitle of Seldon’s book is “How Not to be Prime Minister”. Truss is not yet 50 years old but she is out of Parliament and there is no second act for her in the Conservative Party’s highest ranks. She lacks the self-awareness and grace to follow David Cameron, Alec Douglas-Home, Austen Chamberlain or AJ Balfour in serving under a successor.
All of these arguments are secondary to the sheer, glaring weirdness of a professed defender of free speech attempting to use the law to bully an internationally renowned barrister and King’s Counsel. The idea that public opinion can be regulated and shaped positively by minatory legal instruments and the banning of specific phrases is plain madness.
The issuing of this cease-and-desist letter makes sense only to one person: Liz Truss. For her, it is another blow against the Deep State, the anti-growth coalition, the Establishment conspiracy which cruelly and underhandedly brought her low. For everyone’s sake, including her own, the former prime minister should cease and desist.
