Liz Triss needs to speak out One of the growing issues that is emerging has been the arrest by police of those who are demonstrating against the notion of monarchy. This happened again in Edinburgh today and I for one feel very uneasy about it.

At the last election what was then Corbyn’s party won 202 of the 650 common seats in the worst election result for the party since GE1935.

This Tweet hits the nail on the head

The above from People Polling for GB News is the first leader rating data we have since she was elected and as can be seen just 15% view her favourably. That compares with a whopping 51% saying unfavourable. Perhaps the worst split is from those who voted Tory at GE2019. In this poll just 35% said they had a favourable view of Liz Truss.
