I worked with Liz Truss as a Minister at the Ministry of Justice. She works in a rigorous and well-structured way and I am sure that she will bring organisation and professionalism to the job of Prime Minister. She is also idealistic and will want to do well for Britain and all citizens. She is a very talented person and I congratulate her on winning the Race. Of course, she faces a dark background with clouds in all directions, but I believe that her methodical approach and ability to take decisions will be welcome at this difficult time.
