Truss team’s mafia tactics?
SOME Conservative party MPs who support Rishi Sunak have allegedly been threatened with deselection unless they change their allegiance to Liz Truss.
This has been revealed by the Guardian, which says that the Truss team are putting pressure on Sunak-supporting members of parliament to defect to their side.
According to an exclusive report, Tory MPs “told the Guardian that some Sunakbacking backbench colleagues had now endorsed Truss after being threatened with deselection by constituency parties that are supporting the foreign secretary”.
Why does this remind me of The Godfather: “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse”?
