LIZ Truss’s first external meeting as prime minister was with the head of Rupert Murdoch’s publishing firm which owns The Times and The Sun, new records have revealed.
Information published by the Cabinet Office have shown that Truss – who lasted just 44 days in post – rushed to meet with Robert Thomson, the CEO of News Corp, which is the ultimate owner of News UK – Murdoch’s British publishing arm.
The records show that the meeting – her first with figures outside the Government – was held on September 20, exactly a fortnight after she took office.
