Senior Tories are suggesting Liz Truss take a break from public life amid her surprising alignment with Trump supporters
Washington DC: So, it seems like some senior Tories are telling Liz Truss to take a break. They think she should step back from the spotlight for at least a year.
This all started after she made quite the splash at Trump’s inauguration party last week. She was really getting into it, giving a speech and all, saying Britain needs its own Trump. Can you believe that?
She got a big cheer from the crowd, but not everyone is thrilled. Some Conservatives are worried she’s becoming a bit of an embarrassment. Kemi Badenoch, the current Tory leader, even suggested she should just keep quiet for a while.
Two Tories in DC said she really needs to take a holiday, and one even joked it should be for a year. The memories of her short time as PM and that infamous mini-Budget are still fresh in everyone’s minds.
Liz hasn’t said much about these calls for her to disappear, but one of her friends hinted that it might just make her want to stay in the limelight even more.
When a reporter caught up with her, she insisted she’s not planning to join any other party and thinks the current party support is just a distraction.
But her shift towards Trump-style politics is raising eyebrows. She’s now taking a hardline stance on issues like trans rights, which is a big change from her past. People used to call her the “Queen of woke” when she was in charge of equalities.
She’s been hanging out with the Heritage Foundation in DC, which is known for its ultra-conservative views. This has split opinions among senior Conservatives, especially since she used to be against Brexit and was a fan of David Cameron.
