Oh yes the moment of truth has arrived, and mark my words pp celebrating his arrival need to quickly educate themselves on what he actually plans to do, the public are entirely unprepared for what is just about to happen. This thread is testament to that.
A short answer to your question, I believe the party is ungovernable, and things are just about to get much worse for almost everyone in our country as a result. Levelling up is kicked into the long grass. Expect things to get very ugly indeed.

More than one nail smack dab on the head there. Well said.
Until the major parties wake up and realise what a massive own goal Brexit was, there will be no recovery from the mess. The frantic attempts to square the circle here - by means of upcoming drastic budgets, austerity, and piecemeal dismemberment of the public goods of the UK on one hand, and the tax breaks for the rich and the trickle down effect on the other - are just different ways of avoiding coming to terms with the truth.
[Guy] Hands said the prime minister, Liz Truss, had attempted to follow the “dream” of Brexit and a “low-tax, low-benefit economy”, but this “clearly isn’t something which is acceptable to the British people”.
He said that despite Truss’s brief attempt at introducing tax cuts through her ill-fated mini-budget, “the British people have never voted or even shown any inclination to vote for the extreme Thatcherism that Brexit needed”.
He continued: “Once you accept that you can’t actually do that, the Brexit that was done is completely hopeless and will only drive Britain into a disastrous economic state.”

Yes, he skipped off to Guernsey to avoid UK tax levies. You can be right about things regardless of your personal morality. And apparently the Tories have no problem accepting his money.
