Liz Truss blames Rishi Sunak for Conservative Party's historic election defeat
Liz Truss has criticized Rishi Sunak, blaming him for the Conservative Party's significant defeat in the recent general election. She argues that his leadership led to a loss of traditional Conservative seats and a drop in public support. Truss highlights issues such as rising taxes, immigration problems, and a lack of effective policies as key factors in the party's failure. She claims that Sunak's inability to connect with voters and his failure to deliver on promises contributed to the party's worst election result in 200 years. Additionally, Truss points to internal party dynamics, including cronyism and a disconnect from grassroots activists, as detrimental to the Conservatives' electoral prospects. She suggests that these issues have been building for years, culminating in the recent electoral loss.
