Truss One Year On: Her Oxford Tutor noted ‘unusual angles even when facts showed they were wrong’
It’s a year since Liz Truss was appointed Prime Minister after being elected Tory leader by 80,000 members.
Marc Stears(now at UCL) wrote about the time he was Liz Truss’s tutor during her time as an undergraduate at Oxford in the Murdoch Sunday Times (31st July 2022)
According to Marc Stears Truss’s time at Oxford was marked by an ability to come up with unusual angles on issues and stick to them even when informed that facts showed she was wrong. Secondly an ability to fiercely argue a position only to drop it and equally fiercely promote something different.
There are many MPs, both Tory and Labour, that fit that description, but unlike Truss they never became Prime Minister, even briefly
Unusual angles? What sort? I’m guessing obtuse
