Sajid Javid said he no longer speaks to Liz Truss and called his support for her leadership bid his biggest mistake in politics. After Boris Johnson resigned in 2022, he launched a Conservative leadership bid, then backed Truss after elimination. Truss became prime minister for 49 days in 2022 following a disastrous mini-budget. Asked about Tory MPs defecting to Reform, Javid replied “Good riddance” and said the political class has deteriorated, reflecting voters’ choices. He argued MPs’ pay should rise to attract top talent, saying people like head teachers, accountants, or doctors may otherwise not leave their jobs to serve.
