conservatives, and also here, one of my oldest friends in politics, the conservative of parliament for ashfordrse, former minister in the cabinet office, deputy prime minister damian . thanks very minister damian. thanks very much to all of you. what much indeed to all of you. what did you make of liz truss as safe of all what come to the leader the telegraph in just a moment. well i think for anybody who is prepared to read all of it , it comes across as who is prepared to read all of it, it comes across as a raised and balanced explanation of certainly what she feels happened to her. but i think your introduction was very generous in describing her as a heroine for people in favour of cuts because in many way and many ways i think she's undermined in the case for tax cuts through having been so politically inept in her short penod politically inept in her short period as prime minister. so there's a lot of self—justification in the article, but unreasonably. so as i say, when you read the whole thing and you see the context. and there's no doubt that she some extremely important and ideas. b
