Even after Liz Truss's resignation, her legacy influences UK politics through a climate of fiscal caution. A recent benefits bill fiasco illustrates this trend, as cuts were driven by a need for savings amid disappointing GDP growth forecasts. The chancellor's adherence to rigid fiscal rules, prioritized over sound policy decisions, reflects a fear of market reactions. This has resulted in cautious governance, leading to potential hardship for vulnerable populations. The strict financial framework she left behind has created a restrictive atmosphere, inhibiting flexible government spending and contributing to economic anxiety.
