Hi Mic, although the hardcore propagandists are still behind Truss she does seem to have lost the sympathy of the big centre-right chunk of the media very quickly,as May did (less quickly).

How much of the last 6 years can be explained by the fact that Boris Johnson got a massive amount of help *because he was one of the media class*? After all, BoJo did a whole bunch of terrible stuff that also hit ordinary people but he kept on skating through until he became completely ridiculous…

It kind of feels like Truss was expecting the same safety net and is has been horrified to realise that it’s not there for *her*!
