Tory MP Tom Tugendhat Left Squirming At Reminder Of How He Once Backed Liz Truss's Leadership Bid
Tom Tugendhat was reminded how he backed Liz Truss's leadership campaign
A Tory leadership hopeful faltered in an interview today when he was brutally reminded how he backed Liz Truss’s own quest to lead the Conservative Party.
Shadow security minister Tom Tugendhat was trying to outline his vision to bring the Tories back from their abysmal election result on his morning media round when Truss’s legacy came up.
ITV’s Good Morning Britain presenter, Ranvir Singh, said: “You did back Liz Truss. Now we know that went disastrously wrong, and people’s mortgages went sky-high.
“The trust has gone hasn’t it? You backed Liz Truss’s plan for the economy – was that one of your major mistakes?”
Truss, who served as PM for just 49 days, was kicked out of office after tanking the economy........
