Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.04pm post the following, " Polling from YouGov suggests that Liz Truss was perceived by Tory members to have outperformed Sunak on every issue covered in last night’s debate.....In particular, she led on Ukraine, cost of living and levelling up, although her lead was weaker on Brexit, the environment and taxation. "
Lets Get Real:
This blog is going to make a BOLD suggestion to the Sunak Camp, that the former Chancellor have a look at getting out of the race before the Conservative membership start to vote, he did not do well in last night's debate, as the above poll suggests Truss LEAD in ALL AREAS. If the former Chancellor gets out of the race early he might get a job in the Truss Cabinet, as PM Truss could make him Foreign Secretary her old job, thus there would be no need for a great Cabinet reshuffle. Of course such a move might not go down well the Conservative members, on the other hand, it would be seen as bringing the PARTY together and not helping the Labour Party. In the debate last night Sunak did well with Labour voters, not the best indicator for a general election. Also Sunak is defending a sticky wicket, he wants to wait in till next year for tax cuts, while Truss will have them from the start. Truss is taking the bull by the horns, while Sunak is following the Treasury line, as they used to say in Yes Minister, he has been house trained by the Department, in other words defending the orthodox of the Treasury, they never like to spend money, as they think the money is theirs and not the public who pay the taxes.
