It's less fucked.
Germany is the worst performing G7 now.

I don't think the article makes that assertion. It simply says that the economy has recovered past pre pandemic levels but that Truss fucked it up badly. If anything it is merely stating that th economy is resilient. Not that it is fine and we're still pretty low down in the G7 figures perhaps lower than we ought to be because of Truss.

Or any other Tory
The one thing you can say about the Tories, they are at least consistent.

This doesn't absolve Brexit, and I feel Liz Truss is a very convenient scapegoat for a Tory party who has been in power for 13 years.
If the ultras had been denied their hard AF brexit and we'd gone for the sensible Norway option of single market access but no political union, then there'd be zero brexit downsides.
So, any brexit cost is down to the Tories failed negotiations and failed implementation
Possibly, but that's entirely hypothetical. This is the Brexit we've got, and it was delivered by mostly the same people who were promoting it in the first place.
