The Foreign Secretary was seen watching on at the Alexander Stadium alongside her teenage daughters as they took in the action on the athletics track. Ms Truss' husband Hugh
O'Leary, who she married in 2000, was spotted while Andy Street, a Conservative party politician and West Midlands Mayor, also joined them. Last month, she revealed her two teenage
daughters are currently involved in managing her social media campaign. Ms Truss told the Daily Telegraph: "My oldest daughter's working on the digital team. "She's done
a computing GCSE so she's helping out on that. And my younger daughter was there as well, giving general political advice." Later on Saturday, the Foreign Secretary called on the
Tories to "unite" to take on Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour Party as she continues to gain support from current and former Cabinet ministers. On Thursday, Kay Burley slammed the
Tory leadership candidate for her constant U-turning on policies, asking her if the "real Liz Truss will please stand up". The Sky News host brought up the Foreign Secretary’s
apparent U-turns on a number of areas - including Brexit, Ukraine, the green belt, civil servant’s pay, the abolition of the monarchy, and whether or not to arm Taiwan. Ms Burley said:

and energy bills, and could be heard shouting "shame on you" and calling for a Green New Deal. Later on, another protester was escorted out as she was in the middle of a question
and answer session with Conservative Party members. Ms Truss joked: "I take it as a compliment that I'm so popular with Extinction Rebellion." She said after they left the
studio: "Can I just say a few words on the militant people who try and disrupt our country and who try and disrupt our democratic process and try and disrupt our essential services.
"I would legislate immediately to make sure that we are standing up to militant trade unions who stop ordinary commuters getting into work. And I would legislate to protect our
essential services." She added: "And I will make sure that militant activists such as Extinction Rebellion are not able to disrupt ordinary people who work hard and do the right
thing and go into work. "I will never ever, ever allow our democracy to be disrupted by unfair protests."
