Many of Prime Minister Liz Truss’ constituents are not surprised the politician has appeared to be missing in action after the mini-budget caused across the country this week.
The Mirror visited a community centre in her seat of South West Norfolk, where she has been an MP for 12 years. Of the 25 folk who were immersed in daubing at bingo boards, none have met Truss, nor, in most cases, even seen her in person.
When it comes to their battles against exorbitant food and energy bills, which have been barely manageable now for months, many here feel alone. Unsurprising, given their MP is bent on tax cuts for the wealthiest and an economic path that has terrified most.
