Truss claims Tories would have done better at election if she had stayed as PM than they did under Sunak
Q: If you had stayed on and fought the election, do you think you would have done better than Rishi Sunak?

UPDATE: See 1.41pm for the quote from Truss explaining why she thinks she would have done better than Sunak.
