Tories alarmed by Truss's conversion to Maga politics.

Senior Tories want former prime minister Liz Truss to “take a holiday” and get out of the public gaze for “at least a year”.

The comments arrive after Ms Truss became a popular fixture, among Donald Trump’s Maga supporters and donors, on the inauguration party circuit in Washington DC last week.

On Monday night, just hours after Mr Trump was sworn in as president, the former prime minister, who lasted just 49 days in Downing Street, stood up at one of the official balls celebrating the inauguration and gave an impromptu speech.

Ms Truss is said to have repeated the line that Britain needs its own Trump, and praised the incoming US president for “saving Western civilisation”. A source from the ball, which was packed full of right-wing backers of the new administration, said: “She got a huge ovation for her words.”
