Before the 2016 referendum, a minister in the then-Cameron government, who was voting for Brexit, asked Liz Truss, with whom they worked closely, which way she was going to swing. She replied, with little hesitation, that although she believed in Brexit, because it was highly likely the Leave camp would lose the vote, it would be “politically disastrous” for her career, so she was going to support Remain.
Given the poll lead by Truss among Tory members, especially the over-65s who have overwhelmingly voted for tax cuts and Boris Johnson (a Truss vote is a Johnson loyalty vote), we already know who our next prime minister is. Bar a huge upset in the coming weeks, Britain is set for two years of “unleashing” under Liz.
