Liz Truss speech 'lacked passion and empathy' according to language expert

A body language expert has thrown cold water on Prime Minister Liz Truss's speech to the Tory conference, saying she 'lacked passion and empathy'. Darren Stanton, dubbed the 'Human Lie Detector', says her display was 'poor' and that some of the audience appeared to be left shaking their heads.

Mr Stanton is a former police officer with a degree in psychology and has used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He has also analysed heightened political situations including General Election debates and key interviews with the likes of Dominic Cummings.

His analysis, on behalf of gambling website OLBG, revealed that the PM was trying to come across as a powerful leader but didn't always succeed. According to OLBG, the odds on Ms Truss leaving her post this year is 7/2, next year 5/4, in 2024 11/4, and in 2025 or later 9/2.
