'Spreadsheet man' Rishi Sunak ran the Tory train into the buffers - he's to blame for the Conservative Party's worst defeat in two centuries, writes LIZ TRUSS

Daily Mail  

It was nearly the end of the line but a lengthy freight train lumbering along to the town of King's Lynn was blocking the way. The Conservative Party leader, Rishi Sunak, had been complicit in amplifying Labour's lies and spreading smears about me and my premiership. At the 2019 general election, Reform's previous incarnation, the Brexit Party, had pulled its candidates out of the race in all seats that Conservatives were defending. Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss go head-to-head as contenders for the Tory leadership in 2022 People complained that they couldn't get a GP slot when they wanted one; they couldn't even find an NHS dentist, let alone get an appointment; they couldn't afford to get on the housing ladder because demand for housing was massively outstripping supply; and the roads were filled with potholes. But given that repealing the act would have taken more than two years, which was more than the remaining time the Conservatives had in office before the election, he was making promises he couldn't deliver.
