NICOLA Sturgeon has questioned “what planet” Liz Truss is living on after the Prime Minister suggested Scotland should copy her financial policies which have sparked turmoil – with the Tories polling a massive 33 points behind Labour.
The First Minister’s comments came after another day of economic chaos in the wake of Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s “mini-budget” last Friday.
Thousands of mortgage products were taken off the market with predictions of the Bank of England raising interest rates to 6%, and the central bank was forced to step in to protect pension funds with a £65 billion package.
