Throughout the campaign, and throughout her career, Truss has been inconsistent, from being a Liberal Democrat to becoming a Tory, from being extremely pro-Remainer to becoming an arch-enemy of the EU, she has flipped and U-turned whenever it has suited her political ambitions.
In a dull and tedious campaign to become leader of the Tory Party, she has changed her mind on several major issues and, whenever challenged, has said she had been 'misinterpreted'. Truss appears to have little political wit or skill, almost no firm principles, and is likely to succumb to pressures from the right of the Tory party once elected. In effect she will be a puppet of the right-wing whilst the country faces the biggest crises it has faced since the Second World War.
An excellent synopsis, as usual. I dislike using ad hominem attacks on anyone, but I must make an exception for this woman—I have started calling her 'Ms Trust' (a play on the word mistrust)—as each time I see her, she reminds me of Minnie Mouse. She is NO Mrs Thatcher! Maggie, whether people loved her or loathed her, had stature and gravitas. The last words that would come to mind when thinking of Liz Truss are 'stature' and 'gravitas'. – © Mark Alexander
