Ex-Tory minister lambasts Liz Truss as she flies to America to support Donald Trump | LBC

Rishi Sunak ‘trashing my record’ is to blame for the Conservatives' disastrous election result, the former Prime Minister Liz Truss has claimed.
Writing in The Telegraph, Ms Truss admitted she stayed quiet during the election campaign “to prevent further damage to the party” but said she must “speak out now”.
The former Prime Minister said: “More than 250 of us paid the electoral price for this. Regrettably, over the course of the next five years it will be the British people who have to bear the cost of this failing.”
Ms Truss then singled out Mr Sunak, who she claims “abandoned” Conservatives principles by claiming that “cutting taxes did not generate growth”.
This morning, former Tory MP Conor Burns unleashed on Ms Truss following her comments, saying those around her are "letting her down.
He told LBC's Sunday with Lewis Goodall: "I don't think she's actually well and those who are close to her are letting her down by not telling her the truth, she is preposterous, she is toxic, she needs to be quiet!"

@@johnmartin7158 She was too contemptuous to g anywhere near her constituents I hear from them. She's better off taking her 40/60ths Royal Gratuity from the small duration of her Premiership and going off to dance around Right Wing America.

The fact that Truss, was even allowed to be in the party, let alone PM says how absolutely arrogant and morally bankrupt the Tories are.

[@linlew4222]

Why were the Tories defeated? Reflecting on the last 14 years? Brexit Austerity almost destroying services High university fees so many deserving young people couldn't afford to train...... to become nurses, doctors, dentists, teachers etc. More recently? Trashing the economy Too much attention paid to.... culture wars, the Channel crossings and Rwanda policy Failing, albeit refusing, to deal with strikes in our service industry and health system. Too much attention paid to bre

Well that was obvious.

like the Republican Party in the states, the tories have attracted the most zealous, but unintelligent people in the land.

Having a nice rest in Spain.

Where his Father lives, again one rule for the Tories my Dad lives in Spain but we're denying this to future generations with Brexit. Sheer hypocrisy

[@martywestywood6004]

Freedom of movement still exists for those with cash, nothing as changed. Brexit only removed freedom of movement if you are skint.

[@andyparal]

Well, Brexit was the result of a referendum. You get what you sow. Not you personally, but at least sometimes the people have to take responsibility for their own actions. Yes, certain politicians and media lied to them, but they could also hear and read the truth and warnings if they wanted to and willfully dismissed it as scaremongering. The more delusional ones still think, that if only the "real" Brexit was carried out, things would be just fine. 🤷

100 hundred thousand pounds a year for what? Truss

A Tory not ashamed to say that he is in his dad's property in Spain ! The interview should have ended the and there !

[@davidhoyle6626]

Who really cares what Tories think any more? These are just spectres from an old nightmare.

[@jimbo914]

Honest question, when conservatives keep insisting that the Tory Party wasnt offering 'real conservativism' what on earth are they talking about? We had 14 years of thay party where rich people came out of it richer than they went into it and poor people came out poorer than they went into it. That outcome is the core principal of the entire ideology and they succeeded at it every step of the way.

[@rafd3593]

Definitely deluded and now feeding that delusion in Trump’s America.

[@johnmurray1044]

She was never well. she was just a front for the people in Tufton St., extreme right wing, backed by people who do not live in the country, do not pay tax in the country and keep their money offshore. That means no investment in the country.

[@Martinbeef]

The Tories have shown that they do not care about the people, especially the poorest. The cuts to Mental Health Services, for me, has changed my life for the worse. I cannot get to see a psychiatrist now, and I have 5 personality disorders. I simply get prescribed medication and am offered counselling through a charity. It’s an absolute disgrace.

[@Gwalion]

What bollacks. I have never known a Tory help anyone but themselves. Ever.

[@drewcampbell8555]

I think I can save Conor and chums some time. Here's why the Tories were rejected: Cynical economics, brazen corruption, and serial, unabashed lying as strategy.

Liz Truss to appoint Terence Howard as her Chancellor and Science advisor. 😂😂😂

[@sketcharmslong6289]

I love the Tories scratching their heads wondering "hmmm.. what went wrong??" Brother its not brain surgery, maybe ask the millions of people that voted you out to get a lead

[@mattsawyer343]

STILL no acknowledgement that we might just not like their policies

[@gohumberto]

I seem to remember the Tories themselves making Liz Truss their leader.
