Liz Truss calls for monarchy to be abolished during Republican past in resurfaced clip
Liz Truss advocated for republicanism when she was 19 years old, resurfaced footage reveals.
“Everybody in Britain should have the chance to be a somebody,” Truss said in the 1994 clip.
“But only one family can provide the head of the state.”
Adding: “We asked them (the public) their opinion of the monarchy, do you know what they said? They said abolish them, we’ve had enough.”
