Leeds pupils have hit out at new PM Liz Truss for her “embarrassing” comments about their school.
The incoming Prime Minister made the headlines when she criticised Roundhay School where she attended as a teenager. Truss, 47, said when she attended the school she saw "children who failed and were let down by low expectations" and described the upmarket North Leeds suburb as a "red wall" seat.
Truss’ comments were made during her campaign to become the Tory leader in mid-July during the school holidays. The 47-year-old won the leadership election yesterday (September 5) with 57 per cent of members' votes, over 20,000 more votes than Rishi Sunak, replacing Boris Johnson.
