Ok, so it is Liz Truss, or Rishi Sunak for next PM.

It's a difficult one. I think Truss is likely to be far easier for Labour to challenge successfully, but Rishi will do a better job as PM for the country. Truss seems incredibly weak on any thoughts of her own - all her career has been about pleasing her boss and even at these latter stages she seem to have adopted 'what would Thatcher do?' as her model. Which is a bit of a problem for her since Thatcher, whatever you may think of her, had a firm set of beliefs and principles, which Truss has not demonstrated at all. I do not think Truss could actually work out what Thatcher would do for any new situation at all.
