Liz Truss Asserts UK Could Have Launched Mars Missions by 2040 Under Her Leadership

Truss says her policies would have led to several Mars missions and a revived economy, despite criticism that her tax-cut agenda crashed markets.

  • On Monday, former Prime Minister Liz Truss claimed in her new book 'Bank Job' that Britain would have launched "several missions to Mars" by 2040 if she had remained in office.
  • Critics have panned the book, with The Daily Telegraph calling it "the most deranged thing I've ever read" and the Financial Times describing the premise as "as sober, serious and measured as you'd expect from someone who wants to abolish the United Nations."
  • Truss outlines an alternate 2040 future where she repealed the Equality Act, Human Rights Act, and Climate Change Act, while claiming Scotland became an industrial hub after "having thrown off the socialist SNP" and returning to its "Smithian roots."
  • Having lost her seat to the Labour Party in the 2024 general election, the former Prime Minister has embraced Maga-style right-wing populism, floating various theories for her unprecedented downfall.
  • While Truss argues her vision would have unleashed economic potential, her actual tenure saw inflation hit over 10%, forcing the Bank to intervene to stabilize the Bond Market.
