Trusses’ impacts were immediate and large but have mostly receded. She wasn’t around long enough to do any real damage

I am here to tell you that the economic effects of Truss are still being keenly felt by people who are still using food banks and unable to heat their homes.

I'd argue those same people were using food banks long before Lizz Truss wormed her way into power. She's obviously made the situation significantly worse, and it now encompasses a larger section of society...but Cameron's government is what got us into this mess in the first place.

That was my only point, disagreeing with @brewery that Truss's impact didn't cause much real damage. I absolutely agree that Cameron is at the root of all we see today.
