I find I’m keeping a list of Truss-speak.

So far we have “failed economic managerialism” which I’m pretty sure means regulation and tax.

Now I see we also have “Treasury orthodoxy”, which could mean an obsession with debt over investment or crisis support, but I suspect it blurs into a general dislike of the Treasury’s requirement that a government’s financial posture have some tenuous connection to reality.
