Liz Truss says Tory party at risk of ‘dying’ as she slams Rishi Sunak
FORMER Tory leader Liz Truss has warned her party is at risk of extinction as she criticised Rishi Sunak’s leadership.
The ex-prime minister blasted her successor in her 90-minute Edinburgh Festival Fringe show.
Ms Truss replied with a “yes” when asked if the Conservative Party could effectively die.
She said the Reform Party could replace the Tories as the party of the right.
She went on: “If the Conservative Party wants to survive it needs to advocate for change.”
She replied “no” when asked if she personally got on with Mr Sunak.
She added: “I haven’t spoken to him since he entered Downing Street.”
And she argued with audience members who called on her to apologise over her mini-Budget.
