She’s back! It was less than three weeks ago that Liz Truss lost her seat after suffering the biggest ever swing from Tory to Labour in a general election. But in true Truss style, she’s picked herself up and soldiered on, visiting the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin last week and doing the rounds with U.S broadcasters. In an interview with Fox which has now gone viral she was asked to comment on Kamala Harri’s merits – or lack thereof.
‘I think there have been some brilliant American women in politics but I don’t think Kamala Harris is one of them,’ Truss began, noting how failing to control immigration and inflation resulted in a major backlash against her own party. ‘Kamala Harris is going to change none of that,’ Truss said. ‘She’s been there the last four years. She’s responsible for those policies.’ The former Prime Minister, who left No. 10 after seven weeks in office, then turned her guns on the Democrats’ obsession with ‘identity politics’ for obscuring the selection process to replace Joe Biden:
What I hate is identity politics, We shouldn’t care if someone is an ethnic minority.
