'Liz Truss': The two words hurting the Tories on the doorstep with voters, says leading pollster

Liz Truss and the so-called ‘mini-Budget’ are still weighing down the Tories as they seek to turn around their fortunes for a general election, says a leading pollster.

Sir John Curtice, Professor of Politics at Strathclyde University, said opposition parties only had to say the words “Liz Truss” for voters to start questioning whether to trust the Tories with the economy.

Traditionally, being sound managers of the economy, or at least being seen as such, has been a Conservative strength.
