A Nottinghamshire MP has blamed a "long few days" for forgetting the name of the current prime minister and confusing Liz Truss with one of the her predecessors - Theresa May. Lee Anderson, Conservative MP for Ashfield, went ahead to praise the prime minister in an interview following Ms Truss' party conference speech in Birmingham.
He commenced his interview and hit out at the "gutter press around every corner trying to cause problems for the party". The Conservative MP went on to praise leader Ms Truss for a “pretty good” address, and how she “gets better and better every time I see her”.
“I think we’ve made the right decision in the end to vote for her," he added. “We had Brexit, we had Boris, we had Corbyn three years ago and now we’ve got Theresa May it’s a different ball game altogether."
