Todos nós vimos o mijo nas mídias sociais, o discurso sobre as importações de queijo e a venda de carne de porco para a China; as primeiras filmagens de ela pedindo a abolição da monarquia em uma conferência democrata liberal em sua juventude; Os lembretes de seus dias como restante. Deposto e substituído pelo homem cinzento que era John Major, eu alertaria contra Keir Starmer e sua equipe abrindo o champanhe em antecipação a uma implosão de treliça ainda. She has grown in stature during the leadership contest, now looking far more confident and comfortable in head-to-head debates with her ‘slicker’ opponent Rishi Sunak, and DIB members who met Truss at one of our events when she was International Trade minister will testify that up close and personal she is likeable, with a keen sense of humour.
On the face of it, Liz Truss will not be the formidable opponent for Labour that, until the wheels fell off, Boris Johnson proved to be.
However, as someone who is (just about) old enough to remember the glee in the Labour camp when Margaret Thatcher was elected as Tory leader in the late seventies, and then the relief when she was deposed and replaced by the grey man that was John Major, I would caution against Keir Starmer and his team cracking open the champagne in anticipation of a Truss implosion just yet.
The soon to be crowned new PM has navigated her way expertly through the Conservative Party selectorate, discreetly campaigning to be head girl of her party for a few years now. She has grown in stature during the leadership contest, now looking far more confident and comfortable in head-to-head debates with her ‘slicker’ opponent Rishi Sunak, and DIB members who met Truss at one of our events when she was International Trade minister will testify that up close and personal she is likeable, with a keen sense of humour.
With some massive challenges ahead, among them the Ukraine conflict, China-Taiwan relations, and the economy, Liz Truss pode se encontrar enfrentando uma estadia de rua ainda mais curta do que o homem que ela vai substituir. Mas, se sua agenda de corte de impostos e novas habilidades de apresentação aprimoradas proporcionam um aumento de curto prazo para a sorte de seu partido e o custo da crise de vida, não descarte uma eleição da primavera de 2023.
Eu sei que ela descartou isso. Mas, como em sua política sobre remuneração regional, Brexit e a monarquia, Truss provou que ela pode reviravolta quando combina com ela.
Seria tolice que o trabalho a subestime.
