If Conservative members vote to send Ms Truss to Downing St they will hand her a national rescue mission that would daunt her predecessors and will define her life.
Thankfully, her powerful record of achievement gives us confidence she will not only lead the UK through the battles ahead, but ensure the next generation inherits a richer, stronger and healthier nation.
Ms Truss’s searing personal ambition is only matched by her passion for Britain.
She yearns to do more than fix the immediate problems confronting our communities; she wants to transform our standing in the world so not a single one of the abundant opportunities unlocked by Brexit is squandered.
That hunger for change is shared by millions of citizens who for years have watched men in suits trundle in and out of Whitehall without ever delivering the true rejuvenation of our former industrial heartlands.
People who voted Conservative for the first time in 2019 – because they long for prosperity to spread far beyond London and the South East – can be assured that Ms Truss burns with that same desire.
Right now, she is in the final stages of an audition for one of the toughest jobs in the world. If she wins, she will arrive at No 10 just as the cost-of-living crisis threatens to push working families into ruin, with the Bank of England briefing that the country is about to slump into a long recession.
