UK’s Truss faces Conservative dissent amid policy U-turnsBIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Liz Truss should be celebrating her first month as Britain’s prime minister. “Things are looking pretty bleak,” said Michael Heseltine, who was Conservative deputy prime minister in the 1990s. Truss says her policies will bring economic growth, higher wages and eventually more tax revenue for the government to spend. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson led the party to its biggest election win for decades in 2019. Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith said the government should have “rolled the pitch” to prepare for its announcements and focused on growth, rather than tax.
