    Description“The only thing that keeps her in office, and it’s not a small thing, is the inability to agree on a successor or a transition process,” said Rob Ford, a professor of political science at the University of Manchester.

    Experts point to a lack of experience and an unhealthy dose of dogmatic attachment to ultraconservative economic theory as a toxic combination behind Truss’ travails.

    “Anyone could have seen that this wasn’t going to fly — how could they have not seen that coming?” Ford said. “This was a stark-staringly obviously incredible plan in the strict definition of that word: It lacked credibility from the moment it arrived.”
