Quotes

  • "The stagnant West must rediscover freedom to salvage its prosperity", The Telegraph (19 December 2022)

  • "Truss is right – but must she stand alone in the fight for freedom?", The Telegraph (18 September 2023)
  • Liz Truss, the former British prime minister, was in office for only 49 days.
