Liz Truss, who was UK prime minister for only 49 days, believed she could change the country by becoming prime minister. “I realized that [the prime minister] is not the one holding the reins. The reins lie with the Bank of England’s Office of Budget Responsibility, not the Prime Minister. “That’s a big problem,” she said in an interview with Steve Bannon.
Truss added that the governor of the British central bank cannot be sacked, but the prime minister can. “That means the governor of the Bank of England has more power than the prime minister, and that’s a problem in a democracy.
