“Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister is trying desperately to carve out a new place in the world. So far, it just isn’t happening,” Politico reports.
“Since becoming the third premier in a row to be ousted by her fellow Conservative MPs, Liz Truss has unsuccessfully sought to rehabilitate a reputation which lay in tatters by the end of her chaotic 49 days in 10 Downing Street.”
“In Britain she remains the butt of jokes. Labour, now in government after a landslide Tory election defeat under her successor Rishi Sunak, wheels out her ghost every time it needs to score political points.”
“Now political biographers are picking over the bones of her failure. Her attempts to crack America on a pro-Trump ticket have fallen flat. And Truss can’t even organize in parliament any more because she lost what should have been a safe Conservative seat at the election — the first former PM to suffer such ignominy for more than a century.”
