Communists challenge disastrous Truss
FORMER prime minister Liz Truss is to be challenged by the Communist Party in her South-West Norfolk constituency in the general election, the party has announced.
Former housing and local government worker, and party executive member Lorraine Douglas will be the socialist standard-bearer against Ms Truss, who became Britain’s shortest-serving premier after outraging money markets and crashing the economy with unfunded tax cuts.
