Liz Truss
Liz Truss told the Commons this afternoon that “the Bill will ensure that goods moving and staying within the UK are freed of unnecessary bureaucracy through our new green channel. This respects Northern Ireland’s place in the UK in its customs territory and protects the UK internal market."

Tory members of a Whatsapp group called ‘Liz for Leader’ exhorted colleagues to rebel against Boris Johnson, plotting to install foreign secretary Liz Truss as party leader.

The group, dominated by new MPs from the Red Wall seats, is said to be “disenchanted with Boris, especially over migrants and high taxes”, believing Liz to be more “faithful” to traditional Conservative values.
