Who guides Truss?

Who is Liz Truss’s Svengali? With impromptu statements or responses she is bumbling and often bewilderingly self-contradictory. Her prepared statements however – always advocating more authoritarian styles of government, whether in terms of policing, productivity or finance – seem coherent enough to have come from a different and determined intelligence. Who could provide such an influential “advisor”?
