UK Minister of Defence, Ben Wallace, has explained his support for Liz Truss and his concerns about Rishi Sunak’s failure to support UK Defence. He stated that Liz Truss “has been very consistent in the support for defence and security. She reads the same intelligence reports I do. So I felt it was the right person to back…” UK Defence spending is “currently declining we are we are forecast around 2026 to go below two percent of GDP taking us from being the leader in Europe to down to about eighth in European defense spending which would… not allow us to keep ourselves and indeed our allies safe.” July 29, 2022, SkyNews Interview https://youtu.be/y17a0BGkgw4
When Rishi Sunak was Chancellor: “The Chancellor’s failure to raise defence spending will regrettably be welcomed in the Kremlin.” said Dr Alan Mendoza, executive director of the Henry Jackson Society.

“The conflict in Ukraine is a stark reminder that there is no substitute for credible Defence. We are all shocked by the images of war in our Continent and the effects of air delivered weapons. For air forces, the fighting in Ukraine has clearly demonstrated that despite the technological complexity of modern aerial warfare, having highly motivated and well-trained people remains critical to operational success. The conflict has also highlighted the importance of alliances.” Excerpt from “A speech by HRH The Prince of Wales at RAF Cranwell College Combined Parade” 29 APRIL 2022 https://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/speech/speech-hrh-prince-wales-raf-cranwell-college-combined-parade
“The Sovereign’s prerogative powers are sometimes called reserve powers. They include the sole authority to dismiss a prime minister and government of the day in extremely rare and exceptional circumstances, and other essential powers (such as withholding Royal Assent, and summoning and proroguing Parliament) to preserve the stability of the nation. These reserve powers can be exercised without the consent of Parliament. Reserve powers, in practice, are the court of absolute last resort in resolving situations that fundamentally threaten the security and stability of the nation as a whole and are almost never used.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_the_United_Kingdom#Constitutional_background

Why was it “ok” for people to criticize the budget of the first black Chancellor of the Exchequer, but not ok to criticize Rishi because he is brown? “After Johnson resigned in 2022, Kwarteng supported Liz Truss’s bid to become Conservative leader. Following Truss’s appointment as Prime Minister, she appointed Kwarteng as Chancellor of the Exchequer. His appointment made him the first black person to serve as Chancellor of the Exchequer.[4] On 23 September, Kwarteng announced various tax cuts in a “mini-budget” that was widely criticised and which briefly caused sterling to fall to its lowest-ever level against the US dollar. Kwarteng was dismissed as Chancellor on 14 October after 38 days, making him the second-shortest-serving post-war Chancellor.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwasi_Kwarteng
And, why was it “ok” for people to criticize a highly qualified female Prime Minister, Liz Truss, and never give her a fair chance? Why is it “racist” to oppose Rishi Sunak, but not sexist to oppose Liz Truss?
