About this deal

Material: 100% organic ringspun combed cotton with the words Liz Truss’s Economic Policy in a colour to contrast with your choice of T-shirt. When he won a landslide victory in 2019 his relaxed relationship with the truth was already well known – but enough voters were willing to set that aside in return for his boosterism and Brexit promises, and because they didn’t like the alternative of Jeremy Corbyn.

But her record during the leadership campaign, and before that in government, suggests she is not as honest as she likes to claim, and raises questions about whether she will fulfil campaign pledges. Trust in British democracy and the state has plummeted to new depths under Boris Johnson with his rejection of the normal conventions of government. Truss’s claims about her old school in Leeds “letting down” children have been furiously denied by fellow ex-pupils. An overwhelming number of the senior figures brought into the administration had limited experience running a Whitehall department, let alone the country. The entire legislative affairs team – in charge of drafting and timetabling bills – was replaced too. It was silly of Liz not to squeeze every ounce of goodwill out of people by being the one to appoint them, so things got off to a bad start on literally day one,” said one of those appointed that day.

He's a great person, but I don't expect him to be involved in the business of government," she told The Telegraph in July. With support ebbing away, Truss realised she might not have the numbers to get her plans through parliament. Such a defeat would have been treated as a vote of no confidence.

The Times described the girls' arrival as "a concept straight out of a sitcom: a teenager, at a time of peak sass, disregard and disrespect for one's parents, growing up in Downing Street". She described Frances as "maybe a bit more centrist" and Liberty as "maybe very slightly more Conservative", adding "they are both very supportive of me". For Truss’s newly assembled team of political aides, it was a chance to get to know each other. The group included special advisers who had worked with Truss at the Foreign Office, and a handful from the Boris Johnson and Theresa May eras. Among others were public affairs executives and lobbyists. His hubristic handling of a series of self-inflicted scandals over the last year – Owen Paterson, Partygate and Chris Pincher – left his integrity fatally wounded and public trust even more diminished. In recent decades politicians, not least because of Tory sleaze in the 1990s and the MPs’ expenses scandal in 2009, have enjoyed less than the full confidence of the public.I don’t make promises I can’t keep and I am a straightforward person who tells it like it is,” she said at one party event.

Jake Berry, the Conservative party chair, added to the febrile atmosphere by saying those who did so would lose the party whip. The markets duly went into a frenzy. It sparked a run on the pound and fears of sharply higher borrowing costs. Worse, it precipitated a crisis in the UK pensions industry. She was cut down to size within minutes by the first presenter, who asked Truss bluntly: “Where’ve you been?”

Truss’s premiership had become a tinderbox. There was no need for ministerial resignations or no-confidence letters – the sense of inevitability that she could survive for only a few more days was overwhelming. It would have been the perfect moment for some team bonding, but we couldn’t even go to the pub,” recalled one aide. The girls will be the first teens living at Downing Street since Blair's term in office. He had three teenage children in situ during his 10-year stay.

After marrying in 2000, they stayed together when revelations of Truss's affair with a married MP threatened to derail her career a few years later. The incident took place during the summer leadership race but did not publicly emerge until after she had left No 10, meaning many remained in the dark about how to get hold of her.

Friends told The Guardian that O'Leary would not want to live at Downing Street full-time and is "not going to be Denis", referring to Margaret Thatcher's ultra-loyal husband, who became a household name. That evening, she appointed a new cabinet, but she left Wendy Morton, the chief whip, and Thérèse Coffey, the deputy prime minister, to conduct junior ministerial hirings and firings.What followed was ritual humiliation for the prime minister. The questions kept relaying fury from listeners. One asked pointedly: “Are you ashamed of what you have done?”
