Blighty newsletter: On safari at the Liz Truss festival of ideas

The conference faced numerous challenges, including poor organization and lackluster attendance, which led many to view it more as a farewell to Truss's leadership than a promising start. This event underscores the struggles within British conservatism and raises questions about the future direction of the party as it grapples with internal discord and public disillusionment.
