Liz Truss Predicts Andy Burnham Will Cause Financial Crisis Amid Irony Over Her Own Record
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, whose own 2022 mini-budget caused market turmoil and led to her ouster after 49 days, has predicted that incoming Labour Prime Minister Andy Burnham will lead Britain into a 'financial crisis.' Speaking at the CPAC GB conference, Truss warned that 'the money's going to run out' and forecast another prime minister before 2029. The remarks come as Burnham prepares to take office from Keir Starmer, with some concerns over his public spending plans. The IMF recently warned that UK gilt markets remain nervous due to the legacy of Truss's 2022 budget. Truss, who lost her seat in 2024, also called for a right-wing 'counter-revolution' and criticized political cowardice. The article highlights the irony of Truss's prediction given her own role in a previous financial crisis.
