Speaker 1
You really get a sense of that huge amount of personal drive she's got. And it's like she's on a collision course with people, even if they're her superiors. She's unwavering. And that approach has served her really well up until this point. Yes, exactly. And that doubling down and that sticking to her guns means that she's at the epicenter of that Tory win in 2010. So that's a huge moment for her. And in her mind, that's been a long time coming. Although in politics, 10 years to make that ascent, not that long at all. So what's she going to do next, Matt? I'll tell you exactly what she's going to do next, Alice. This is episode two hitting the ground. This is a paid advertisement from BetterHelp Therapy online.

Liz Tross sings at the top of her voice. Thank you, God. Oh, my God. She's got an incredible voice. She can really sing. She has a similar outstanding range to you. Tonight, she's celebrating hard. A few hours ago, she and her friend, Quasi Quatang, held a press conference with a few other MPs. They've all co-written, Britannia Unchained, their radical vision of a low tax, low spend Britain. She told the press the country needs shock therapy to get back to prosperity. But she also hopes she'll impress David Cameron with her radical views, make a name for herself in the party. She holds out her arms for Quasi to join her on the tiny stage. He pushes his way toward her, head and shoulders above everyone else. They both became MPs on the same day. They'd bonded over strong coffee and a mutual love of Margaret Thatcher. Great. I mean, marriages have been built on less. You'd often wonder with couples, how do they find out them into the same thing? It could be one of those very specific dating apps. Do you like people in uniform? Do you like people who are very outdoorsy? Instead of match.com.
Liz Truss’ star is rising in the Conservative party after both Theresa May and Boris Johnson place her at the heart of their cabinets. And when things start to unravel for Boris, Liz sees her chance. It’s time for her to take the lead and unleash the radical revolution she's sure the country desperately needs.
