"I welcomed much of [Liz Truss's] budget. I think if there is a criticism, they tried to do too much, too quickly, without prior explanation ... What happened here is the backbenches wobbled really quite quickly because a lot of Conservative backbenchers are basically globalists and listened to those big noises from the multinationals and the IMF. As soon as she sacked [[Kwasi Kwarteng|[Kwasi] Kwarteng]], it was all over … I would much have preferred her to hold her nerve, keep making those arguments and see if the party dared get rid of them."
