    What a loon.

    Reminder:

    • far from ‘thwarting’ her plans, the UK’s economic establishment wasn’t even consulted on them (the OBR);

    • causing the gilt (UK government bond) market to crash when the scale of her unhinged and unfunded fiscal loosening was announced;

    • causing UK pension schemes that were overweight gilts to almost default;

    • causing another part of the UK’s economic establishment (the Bank of England) to have to come in and clean up her mess;

    • causing her own party to seize control of economic governance from her to prevent her doing more harm before they eventually got rid of her.
