Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has issued a legal cease and desist letter to Sir Keir Starmer, demanding he retract his statements claiming she ‘crashed the economy.’ Her lawyers argue that such remarks are false and defamatory, damaging her reputation ahead of the general election. This conflict arises as economic conditions worsen, with rising borrowing costs impacting citizens. Truss’s assertions that Starmer’s claims are lies contrast with Labour’s criticism of the previous Conservative government’s economic record.
