Two former leaders that their parties would rather forget
Welcome to the haunted house of Westminster. It is a year since Liz Truss left office, after serving as prime minister for 49 days. Britons are going to keep hearing about her for a lot longer than that. At the Labour Party’s conference this month, few shadow-cabinet ministers missed a jibe at her expense—and, by extension, at that of her successor, Rishi Sunak. The message: that he is weak and she is still running the show.
Although Ms Truss is an unpopular figure among Tory MPs, the prime minister has only criticised her disastrous term in office in mild terms . The charge of weakness sticks. “When is he going to say ‘Liz Truss can’t stand for the next election? That would be bold’”, Sir Keir told an interviewer. The parallels between the two leaders go well beyond their role as campaign fodder. Undeterred by their failures at home, both hanker to fix the world.
