THE founder of a pro-Tory blog has said Liz Truss’s leadership is “doomed” if she does not “correct course” as he tore into the UK Government’s tax-slashing mini-budget.
Tim Montgomerie, who founded Conservative Home, said on BBC Good Morning Scotland (GMS) he could not defend the state the party had gotten itself into and insisted Truss must start listening to her colleagues and become a more “consensual person” if she is to survive as Prime Minister.
His staggering comments come after Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng had to perform a humiliating climb-down on Monday morning, announcing he will not press ahead with his plan to scrap the 45p top rate of income tax after an enormous backlash from MPs and the public.
