What is really happening is that a group of disaster capitalists, including various "think tanks" and hedge funds, have direct control over the PM and the government, which is putting in place policies that directly benefit them. They have made great profits by extracting the public money in various ways, as well as shorting the sterling; there is no "ideology" involved, it's simply pure short-term greed.

This has been going on for a while, but even Johnson wasn't as directly controlled by this group. They took the opportunity to get rid of him and put Truss to the PM's position, making sure that she will do exactly as they tell her.
