Liz Truss Predicts Andy Burnham Will Lead UK into Financial Crisis
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, whose own 2022 mini-budget caused a financial crisis and 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 right-wing conference, Truss claimed 'the money's going to run out' and warned of continued 'decay and stagnation.' The prediction comes as Burnham prepares to take office from Keir Starmer, amid concerns over his public spending plans. The International Monetary Fund recently warned that UK gilt markets remain nervous due to the scars from Truss's 2022 mini-budget. Truss, who lost her parliamentary seat in 2024, also called for a 'counter-revolution' by right-wing figures. The article notes the irony of Truss's warning given her own disastrous economic record, and reports that only a third of the 500-seat hall was occupied for her speech.
