Liz Truss asked if she 'enjoys chaos' during frosty interview

A new poll has given Labour a 25-point lead over the Conservatives, setting Liz Truss on track for a “wipe-out” at the next general election.

The survey by Savanta ComRes is the latest in a string of polls showing a collapse in support for the Tories in the wake of Kwasi Kwarteng’s disastrous mini-Budget.

The pollster said that the Labour lead was the biggest ever recorded by the company and could leave the Tories out of power for a generation.
