Agree on both fronts! I'm sure "we will raise taxes" would lose some votes in some places, but given the state of the public sector, it's going to feel very different to raising taxes when public services were actually okay.

And on Truss - Labour ought to turn her into their own "Long Term Economic Plan". Though we weirdos know that Truss and Sunak are from different wings of the party and hate each other, most people will just see two politicians wearing the same blue jersey.
