Liz Truss contended that had she remained as prime minister, the Conservative Party would have fared better in the General Election, suggesting her tax-cutting policies could have mitigated the rise of Reform UK.
During her speech, Truss pointed out that when she was prime minister, Reform UK had a mere 3% polling. However, this surged to 18% by election time, reflecting the Tories' failure to deliver promised change.
Truss admitted winning the general election was a tall order but believed that with continued leadership, the Conservative Party could have potentially avoided the electoral setbacks caused by a lack of faith in their leadership.
While acknowledging her loss in South West Norfolk to Labour's Terry Jermy, Truss maintained that had she been allowed to implement her tax strategies, the election outcome could have been more favorable.
