Where does Truss resignation leave Tories?

BORIS was the democratic choice of the people. His track record was great. Partygate was trivial and those who can’t work for him should have resigned, not plotted his downfall. You only need to live in Wales to know how bad things would be under Labour.

V. CLARK, Abergele, Conwy.

BORIS JOHNSON is without integrity, was removed from office because his party was losing by-elections, is under investigation for misleading Parliament and put the country in a precarious position with his economic policies. Why would anyone have wanted him back as PM?

IT WOULD be wrong to have an election so soon after Liz Truss’s resignation. Voters would assume that Labour, with their vote-catching promises, would be better at running the economy, even though Starmer simply assures us their proposals, apart from a windfall tax and restoring the 45p tax band, are ‘fully costed’. But remember Liam Byrne’s ‘I’m afraid there is no money’ note when Labour last left office?

Have an election when the new PM has had time to settle and Conservative policies have had a chance to work.

SENIOR Tories have the brass neck to say highly polished egos will now have to be sidelined to promote a united front. Where have these great sages been for the past 12 months? Only one person in the party could win a general election: Boris.

PETER RICKABY, Selby, N. Yorks.

LIZ TRUSS didn’t have a chance. Think back to the Tory heavyweights of the 1970s and 1980s — Willie Whitelaw,

Keith Joseph, Nigel Lawson. Liz could have done with backing of that calibre. No wonder there were calls for Boris to return.
