Liz Truss has been branded an “imbecile” and compared to the muppet character Beaker by the wife of a sacked Tory government Minister.
Felicity Cornelius-Mercer said the cabinet system “stinks” and “treats people appallingly” after her husband, Johnny Mercer, was removed as veterans affairs minister by the new Prime Minister.
Mercer had appeared angry about the sacking and issued an angry resignation letter, saying he was “disappointed” but accepted that the PM is “entitled to reward her supporters”.
