Unashamed ambition put my rottweiler ex-boss, Liz Truss, on the trail to No 10.
Like most people in Westminster I have laughed at Liz Truss’s notorious “cheese speech”. Unlike most people in Westminster, I have done so to her face.
In her spoof-defying address to the Conservative Party conference as environment secretary in 2014, Truss reached for her inner Winston Churchill to condemn the level of cheese imports to Britain. “We import two-thirds of our cheese,” she told bored delegates. That. Is. A. Disgrace.
