Liz Truss called out by Bristol radio presenter for giving 'scripted answers'

Prime Minister Liz Truss has faced a series of interviews this morning (September 29) after being unseen in public since her newly appointed Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, announced the government's 'mini budget' last Friday. In the budget, the government announced a series of tax cuts and stamp duty cuts, which would benefit the most wealthy in the country.

However, since then, the UK economy has been thrown into turmoil with the pound dropping , many mortgage deals being pulled in a housing market panic - and all of this on top of already growing fuel costs, energy prices and a mounting Cost of Living crisis.

Reports suggest that some Tory MPs have already sent in letters of no confidence in the PM, who has only been in her role for some three weeks. And now it seems the Labour Party look to be on course for a large majority in the next election, if reports like this one from The Telegraph are anything to go by.
