Liz Truss could suffer 'record-breaking defeat' in 'Portillo moment’ of the general election

“Anyway, she has since crashed the economy. I think that eclipses everything else.”

As the election draws nearer, Conservative peer Daniel Finkelstein wonders if Rishi Sunak’s predecessor Liz Truss could lose her safe seat with a 26,195 majority “after everything that happened” when she was prime minister.

Liz Truss has no shame and has cost the good people of this country billions.

Truss losing her seat would be hilarious... 😅

[PassiveAgressive]

I pray that the people of west Suffolk vote her out

[mrb.]

She cost the country £30 *BILLION* ffs.

Liz Truss should be completely unemployable after her short reign. The fact that she thinks she can just slide back into being an MP shows how delusional she is. Let's hope the electorate are slightly less delusional.

If every Brexit headbanger that loses their seat is the icing, this would be the cherry on top of the cake.

Hearing right wingers defend Rishi Sunak's performance is now just pathetic.

[robakajackflash]

She definitely deserves to. She's been out of no. 10 for almost two years and the country has yet to recover so why should she retain her seat?

[simmybear]

No Sunak's D-day departure wasn't laziness it was DERILICTION of duty and disrespect to our Allied nations who sacrificed so much. US, France, Canada, Poland etc!

[accomuk]

I am surprised she even bothered to stand, but intelligence was never her strongpoint was it?

The Tory reaction to Starmer and his Friday evening is disgraceful. More power to Starmer and his family.

Rishi's inconsistency on racism, he was more than happy to keep accepting donations from Frank Hester after the comments about Diane Abbott.

[ColinGreen-pikj]

It still won't affect her £100 k. Pension for. " Services to the Country " , ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL. !

[kevinjackson]

She’s gone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fantastic

Reform UK can't split -- it is a limited company with 15 shares, of which Farridge holds 8.

Don't underestimate the stupidity of voters in SW Norfolk. If Thomas Payne had a grave, he would have been spinning in it when she first got elected. Con James Wild in North West Norfolk needs the boot as well.

[denniskrust]

Truss losing would be appropriate. She's part of the trifecta which ruined the Tories; Brexit, Boris and Truss.

[GeoffV-kh]

The entire British nation would love to see Truss lose her seat.

[mahon]

Oh she's gone. No apologies from her. Says all you need to know.

[DonPedroTheDude]

Liz Truss's affairs were actually a fairly good guide that she was not to be trusted...
