Bring some decency to our poison politics

ON the Daily Expresso podcast last week, I sat down with former Prime Minister Liz Truss for a wide-ranging and surprisingly candid conversation.

We talked about everything from her turbulent 49 days in Downing Street to her views on economic reform.

One thing that really struck me — beyond the political drama — was just how toxic the world Of politics is. Liz had plenty to say about why her premiership was so short-lived and who she believes was responsible for her downfall.

But what lingered in my mind wasn’t the blame game — it was the culture she described. The backstabbing, The plotting. The sense that her own colleagues were sharpening their knives before she’d even found her footing.

Imagine walking into your workplace each morning knowing that half your team are secretly rooting for your failure.
