As Liz Truss prepares for her first conference speech as prime minister today, a word cloud created by the research group JL Partners has revealed the most commonly used words used to describe the current leader and her rival Keir Starmer.
When asked to give a view this week on the Tory leader after the mini-budget, the public most commonly used the words “incompetent”, “useless” and “untrustworthy”.
In comparison, the words used to describe the prime minister before the mini-budget were “determined”, “strong” and “competent”.
The prime minister is currently facing the tough task of restoring Tory morale after a conference that has seen a U-turn over a totemic tax policy, cabinet dissent, and the threat of another major split over the level of benefits.
Meanwhile, the most commonly used words to describe Mr Starmer were “boring”, “leader” and both “competent” and “untrustworthy”.
