The front-runner to be the next Prime Minister has said Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland are not four separate nations but one great country. She also criticised the devolved governments, saying they are "playing political games" instead of making people’s lives better.
In comments reported on The Telegraph, she criticised the SNP, Welsh Labour and Sinn Fein and, if she successfully beats Rishi Sunak to be the next leader of the Conservative Party, pledged to put an end to "constitutional division".
Speaking ahead of a visit to Scotland on Tuesday, Ms Truss said: "Having grown up in Paisley before going to a comprehensive school in Leeds, I consider myself a child of the Union. When I say I will deliver for our country, I mean all of it. As prime minister, I would also hold the role of Minister for the Union and seek to strengthen it.
