Why Truss said NO to Channel 4 Interview - Conservative Party Leadership Contest


Lets Get Real:

The Sunak Campaign might be to slick for its own good, the UK is not the US, when Labour Party did it, we had New Labour, Tony Blair and the Iraq War and it didn't end well, while Blair was applauded out of the House of Commons we had Gordon Brown as PM, that was a disaster from start to finish.  Thus UK voters and Conservative Members might be wary of being a Presidential Candidate for PM.  The very fact that Truss is not great on TV shows that she is REAL, no polish, the real thing.  Let's recall Lady T changed her image over the years, she become a natural on TV.  Thus one can expect should Liz Truss becomes PM she will will improve her tv performance.   The focus today will be the debate on BBC 1 at 9 between Sunak and Truss, it will be interesting to see their different presentation style, Sunak slick, while Truss is is less so.   Let's be honest neither of them is PM Boris, but then that is the reason Boris fell, you can be natural on TV and funny and still be bought down by your faults.    Sunak has to get the Conservative members to have another look at him, he needs to say something nice about Boris, even if does not mean it, he has to look sorry for his part in the Boris downfall.  While Truss has to defend her tax cuts pledge and be ready for Sunak to go for her throat, that is the only way he can win.
