Liz Truss 'taken apart' in BBC radio interview as she 'crumbles under pressure'

Liz Truss Fracking Lancashire Mark Menzies

Liz Truss "crumbled under the pressure" of a local news interview on Thursday as she faced questions about fracking.

The Prime Minister was interviewed by a number of BBC local radio stations on Thursday (September 29) morning. Among those questioning Ms Truss was BBC Radio Lancashire's Graham Liver, who asked about fracking in the county.

A fresh row has emerged about fracking in Lancashire after a temporary ban, launched in 2019 following quakes and tremors caused at Lancashire’s shale gas wells in Preston New Road near Blackpool, was lifted by Liz Truss on September 22. The row could affect the forthcoming West Lancashire by-election, which LancsLive reports could "effectively become a referendum on fracking in Lancashire".
