A besieged Liz Truss faces Parliament as U.K. inflation passes 10%
Washington PostAPR 2023
To call Liz Truss' tenure as PM shambolic would be an understatement. Ongoing Tory malgovernance has had profound consequences for the global reputation of Britain and its economy. The Conservative party is now a reflection of serious rot in UK politics – Westminster is in dire need of a new Labour government.
Truss' best hope of survival is that there's no obvious replacement for the role of Conservative party leader. However, Rishi Sunak is increasingly becoming a clear candidate around which MPs can unite. The current PM is providing a hapless performance after just six weeks in post and her political ineptitude must be stopped to protect the Conservatives' electoral chances.
