The Tory leader’s last campaign work had not yet begun, but next to Wembley Stadium it was possible to see who was going to play at home. About 6000 people were heading to the OVO Arena, a few meters away. Most carried posters and sacks with the words “Ready for My Feather” (“Ready for My Feather”). In stark contrast to opinion polls, which gave Liz Truss an unmistakable advantage, the former finance minister was the star of the night. With his parents and wife in the front row, he walked the podium to The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” and a loud, long applause, much louder than the one who greeted Truss minutes earlier.
Although the central stage looks like an arena, the battle was peaceful, between the candidates and the audience. A shift in the aggressive internal campaign.
