Foreign Secretary Liz Truss polls indicate she will be the next Tory leader, giving her a significant lead over her rival, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer. Rishi Sunak. In fact, as already noted, the difference between them has not been overcome, despite the course of the election campaign.

Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon was particularly critical of Thras, saying that during their brief meeting at the UN Climate Conference (COP26) held last year in Edinburgh, she was only interested in finding a way to be interviewed by Vogue.

Sharp criticism of the former foreign secretary from Sunak, Sturgeon and political scientists.

Rishi Sunak also accused his rival of political cowardice for refusing to give interviews, as he did, to well-known journalists and political scientists Andrew Neil and Nick Robinson and answer how she would govern if elected prime minister.

Following Sunak’s BBC interview, Robinson characteristically said, “Trash still couldn’t find us some free time. Our open invitation is valid.” In addition, Sunak’s colleague stressed yesterday that “whoever becomes prime minister, it is important that we clearly know his plans.” Liz Truss’s campaign office dismissed the criticism, saying the Foreign Secretary is doing daily interviews and meeting with citizens across the UK to answer their questions as she will continue to do.

Despite their significant differences, the two Tory leadership contenders said that if they lost the party election, they would not mind joining their rival’s government, putting aside what currently divides them.
