The book describes a tense moment in Downing Street where Truss' policy director and advisers debated the possibility of cuts to vital services, including cancer treatment, due to financial crises. They expressed disbelief at the seriousness of such discussions, with one adviser exclaiming, 'She's lost the plot.' These insights reflect the chaotic atmosphere and desperate measures considered by Truss’ administration amidst her economic policies unraveling.
Kwasi Kwarteng distanced himself from discussions on healthcare cuts, stating, 'I wasn't involved in any conversations about restricting healthcare.' However, he acknowledged that the prime minister and her team might have discussed the possibility. This ambiguity highlights the lack of clarity and cohesion in the government's economic strategy at that time, emphasizing the ongoing turmoil within Truss' government.
