As Starmer leads in polls for best PM, Lib Dems have formed attack unit to push for victory in blue wall seats
Michael Gove: ‘The answer to the cost of living crisis cannot be simply to reject further handouts and cut tax.’The Lib Dems believe liberal Tories will also dislike Truss’s criticisms of “woke” civil servants, her conversion to the “benefits of Brexit” having been a Remainer at the 2016 referendum, and her new-found green scepticism, including a recently stated dislike of solar panels in rural areas.
Organisations backing cooperation between progressive parties to oust the Tories sense that Truss offers real opportunities. Neal Lawson, spokesman for the Win as One campaign, which encourages progressive alliances on the left, said: “Many Tory seats in the blue wall are on a knife edge and a rightwing Truss leadership could push them over the edge.
The other hope is that if Truss does win, she will dump much of the agenda outlined in her campaign, and cast aside the rightwing supporters she is said to be considering appointing to high positions.
