Tory Reverse Evolution Continues With Truss

We were starting to think he would never go but finally, Boris Johnson has left the building and the Conservative Party reverse evolution process continues as Liz Truss picks up the reins and drags them along behind her.
My first question is why do Politicians not use their real Christian names? Boris Johnson's actual name was Alexander, Gideon Osborne wanted to be called George Osborne and Liz Truss answers at home to Mary Truss although with what she has announced so far, some people have already decided a new name for her but i think it is unfair to label her as a right wing fruitcake before she has announced exactly what she will do, there is plenty of time afterwards for that.   
What is undeniable is that since 2010 and the Conservative Party took over, the Party has changed leader 4 times and each one has been worse than the previous one and the first one, David Cameron, wasn't great with his austerity measures and Brexit referendum which hollowed out the country which Theresa May then took on with her Hostile Environment immigration policy and then the horrendous Boris Johnson who was a disaster in every sense and is currently the holder of the 'Worst Prime Minister Ever' Title although Mrs Truss is looking as if she will give him a run for his money as she has gone so far to the right that she is in danger of falling of the page.
When your very first policy is Tax Cuts to ease the cost of living crisis, and when it is pointed out that it will be more advantageous for the richer people by thousands of pounds each far more than the lower paid who will find a few more pound in their wages, described it as 'fair' that the higher paid will benefit
because 'high earners need help also', then it doesn't bode well that she will change direction away from the shoveling money upwards and crossing their fingers that it will trickle down, which was always a busted flush of a policy which Capitalists adhere to.
Maybe she will surprise us and become one of the greats and be an improvement on the other Conservatives who came before her although even with that bar set so low that a worm would struggle to get beneath it, it hasn't started off that well.
