  • Observers of the UK’s political and economic scene have gotten used to chaos over the last few years.
  • During her time as foreign secretary, Truss reveled in becoming one of the most ardent advocates for ripping up the deal the UK signed with the EU on Northern Irish trade, known as the Northern Ireland Protocol — a hugely controversial move that could have provoked a trade war.
