The Spin

Right narrative

Supporters of Truss's defeated leadership rival Rishi Sunak are undermining democracy by plotting against the current Prime Minister. After stabbing Boris Johnson in the back, party grandees now intend to destabilize Truss's premiership and replace her, despite her mandate as leader. Conservatives must unify behind Liz Truss and her government for the sake of decency and the sake of the party.

Left narrative

Kwasi Kwarteng has been pushed from the farcical merry-go-round of Downing Street politics so that Liz Truss might remain a little bit longer. Yet again the Conservatives are plotting leadercide against one of their own, whose incompetence has obliterated the chances of Conservative party victory in the next election. The end of Truss's political career is inevitable and imminent.
