## Resource

Sajid Javid, ex-chancellor and former MP, dropped a bombshell at the Hay Festival—calling his biggest political blunder backing Liz Truss, whose doomed 49-day premiership ended in chaos. Now out of Parliament, he’s blunt about Conservative MPs defecting to Reform, calling it “good riddance” and blaming voters for the UK’s plummeting political standards. He’s also pushing for a radical fix: halve the number of MPs while doubling pay to lure top talent from teaching, medicine, and accounting. Once a key cabinet figure under Johnson and Truss, Javid’s exit from politics came amid mass resignations in 2022—and now, in the private sector as an investment partner and Holocaust Memorial Day Trust figure, he’s still speaking truth to power.
