Ms Truss, who is widely tipped to become the next Conservative Party leader on Monday, attended Roundhay High School in the late 1980s and early 90s.

Ms Truss has made similarly scathing comments about her education in Leeds before, including earlier on in the leadership contest in July, when she claimed standards were “poor” at the school.
