[Liz Truss's radio roadshow
The PM endured a torrid round of BBC local radio interviews this morning. She faced hard questions with presenters often presenting questions and criticism from readers struggling with the cost-of-living crisis: LEEDS The first question to the PM was 'where have you been?' She went on to say: 'We had to take urgent action to get our economy growing, get Britain moving and also deal with inflation. 'Of course that means taking controversial decision but I am prepared to do that as Prime Minister.' NORFOLK The PM said it was 'really important' the Government 'took action quickly' to 'reduce the tax burden and get the economy going'. She is also a Norfolk MP and was asked about when King's Lynn would get a new hospital. KENT Questions for the Prime Minister from BBC Radio Kent listeners included 'What on earth were you thinking?', 'How can we ever trust the Conservatives with our economy again?' and 'Are you ashamed of what you've done?', the show's presenter said. Asked if she will reverse the policies unveiled in the mini-budget, Prime Minister Liz Truss replied: 'I don't accept the premise of the question.' LANCASHIRE The PM faced fewer questions on the economy and more on fracking, which has taken place in Lancashire. Her government has lifted the moratorium on drilling despite fears of earthquakes. She said: 'We will only press ahead with fracking in areas where there is local community support for that. The UK has become dependent on global energy prices. We have seen through Vladimir Putin's appalling war in Ukraine how energy prices have shot up and Russia has used the fact that it produces gas as a way of exerting pressure on other countries.' NOTTINGHAM Ms Truss said it was 'simply not true' when asked by BBC Radio Nottingham whether her mini-budget was a 'reverse Robin Hood' that disproportionately benefited the most wealthy. Asked how she was creating a fairer tax system, Liz Truss told BBC Radio Nottingham: 'The reality is, people having lower taxes across the board - everything from national insurance to corporation tax to income tax - helps everybody because it helps grow the economy. It's not necessarily popular to keep corporation tax low but I want to make sure we do because I want to make sure we attract investment into this country.' TEES Ms Truss was told about a listener, Diane, who has had to sell her house of 25 years due to the cost-of-living crisis. The Prime Minister was asked how tax cuts for the wealthiest would help people like Diane, and replied: 'Well, we are cutting taxes across the board because we were facing the highest tax burden on Britain for 70 years and that was causing a lack of economic growth, and without growth we don't get the investment, we don't get the jobs we need, which helps local communities right around the country. We're also reversing the increase in national insurance. We're also reducing the basic rate. So we're reducing taxes across the board, because the tax burden was too high.' BRISTOL The PM was asked: 'I thought you believed in sound money, or have you changed your mind about that like you did about Brexit?' STOKE The PM was asked: 'Have you taken the keys of the country and crashed the economy?' She replied: 'I've taken decisive action to deal with the very difficult situation the country and the world is facing.'] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ce-public.html Last edited by arista; 29-09-2022 at 08:55 AM. |

Remembering Kerry

She's totally deluded.
In better economic times her policy would have more merit. However not now, she can't answer correctly the questions put to her. She actually doesn't even try to address them. Her delusion is growing sadly. Definitely there's no real PM material across the leadership of the Parties at present. However she most assuredly is the absolute WORST of the lot. No wonder she's seen as being untrustworthy. Hopeless, totally hopeless. |

Scotland's first minister has said she has still not had a phone call with Liz Truss more than a month after she became prime minister.
Nicola Sturgeon told the BBC it was "absurd" and "unprecedented" that she had yet to hear from the new PM. Ms Sturgeon had talks with Theresa May and Boris Johnson within days of them being appointed. Ms Truss branded Ms Sturgeon as an "attention seeker" who was best ignored during the Tory leadership contest. Speaking to BBC political editor Chris Mason ahead of the SNP conference in Aberdeen, Ms Sturgeon said that other than "an exchange or two" between the two leaders at events following the death of the Queen, there had been no formal contact. She added: "I don't know whether that is arrogance, lack of respect or insecurity or whatever it is. It's not the right way to do government in a grown up way. "So I hope we will see a change. I'll do my best to work with Liz Truss as constructively as possible or whoever comes after because we can't take anything for granted in UK politics these days." In a separate interview with BBC Scotland, she described the lack of a phone call as "unprecedented", adding: "It's not just me. When I spoke to him in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago it was the same for (Welsh first minister) Mark Drakeford. "I spoke to David Cameron when I became first minister within hours. I spoke to Theresa May and Boris Johnson shortly after they became prime minister. For reasons best known to herself Liz Truss hasn't engaged with the devolved administrations." A spokesman for Mr Drakeford, also confirmed he had not had a call from Liz Truss either and said there was "nothing scheduled." Mr Drakeford had also spoken to Mr Johnson and Mrs May shortly after they each became prime minister. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-63175102 ------------------------------------------------------------------ it just gets worse every day |

MP's Warned of a Data Leak
[In an email sent this afternoon by Alison Giles and Mark Harbord, Parliament’s Director of Security and the Director of Cyber Security respectively, Members are encouraged to “[follow] online security best practice” and warned that the “risk of attacks by social engineering is also greater if an individual’s personal data are widely available online”.] https://order-order.com/2022/10/07/e...ive-data-leak/ https://www.greatyarmouthmercury.co....papers-8394746 Last edited by arista; 08-10-2022 at 03:04 AM. |
