There was no ‘I am sorry’ as Liz Truss resigned

Liz Truss did not apologize as she gave her final speech as prime minister.

Sky News political editor Beth Rigby noted how she, like Boris Johnson, focused on her successes and not the missteps.

Beth said: “I think there was an opportunity there for Liz Truss to do what she actually did in front of the media on Monday after Jeremy Hunt junked her entire budget and say ‘I am sorry for the mistakes I made.’

“You did not see that at the podium. There was no I am sorry.

“It was very Johnsonian in that way, but a different style. That doesn’t surprise me.

“I was thinking about this last night and really, Rishi Sunak is a return to politics as usual in terms of how a prime minister might conduct themselves.

“If you think about Boris Johnson, he was a populist, he had this popular appeal, and he liked to break the rules.

“He, to his critics, showed disregard for rules, and in the end, that was his undoing.

“Liz Truss was ideological, really in hot pursuit of what she wanted to do, quite a radical.

“Rishi Sunak is a different type of politician.

“So it doesn’t surprise me that Liz Truss was quite like Boris Johnson in talking about her wins and glossing over her losses.”
