A special instalment this weekend with my final thoughts about my old boss Liz Truss. Next week, normal service will resume with thoughts on various subjects, covering The Great Woman Theory of Vote Leave, Annie Ernaux, Tosca, and T.S. Eliot. Writing elsewhere: I wrote for CapX that
Unusual and insightful profile. I’ve heard some say she had elements of autistic cognitive thinking - which I think could be a great thing. Also, I disagree with the malaise London you are observing; my London is still as vibrant and full as ever, and for me at least accessible, cosmopolitan, quirky (Barbican Totoro, City of London festival take over, Covent Garden regular chaos; Hackney Empire Improv; finding fresh wasabi). But I’m guessing you can find malaise fairly easily too.
The unspoken tactic is to PUP, Prevent Unintended Pregnancies. See "God Made Men Too", vol l of "Sex and the 21st Century: AR-W/(P-I) x ATroc = Q". And vol ll, "The Price Of Eggs Is Down" all on Amazon Kindle/Paperback, large font for easy reading and serious thinking on the new economy of climate change and lower birth rates. You might also appreciate vol lll, "Every War Is An UnCivil War" with a chapter on Putin's War that has thrown a monkey wrench into everybody's economy.

I enjoyed this and have been looking forward to hearing your thoughts on what's happened...
Thanks for writing this. It does make her sound deeply weird. Stupid, no. But a combination of baffling and haywire might as well be.
