The pork
markets thing
Perhaps
surprisingly, Britain’s next prime minister was previously best known for …
shouting about pork (stay with us here). Truss has long embraced a somewhat
goofy public persona, and gave an, erm, highly enthusiastic 2014 speech to the
Conservative Party faithful as environment secretary, which included possibly
the most rapturous use of the phrase “pork markets” ever recorded. She also won
applause for gravely informing her audience with a steely gaze: “We import
two-thirds of our cheese: that is a disgrace!”
Truss is
also remembered for taking on rural Conservatives in her battle to become the
MP for South West Norfolk. The group of political opponents, dubbed the “Turnip
Taliban” due to their supposed militancy, grumbled that Truss’ colorful
personal life (she’d had an affair with a married MP) was unbecoming for their
prospective political representative. But Truss — whose allies claimed a whiff
of sexism among her critics — ultimately prevailed.
