Former chancellor suggests rival’s plan for dealing with UK crisis is implausible
The rightwing Conservative MP John Redwood has welcomed Liz Truss’s refusal to commit to appointing a new ethics adviser for No 10 if she becomes prime minister.
Redwood was Welsh secretary under John Major, but he has not served in government since 1995 and he last sat on the Conservative frontbench in 2005. But he has been tipped for a ministerial job if Truss becomes PM.
