Spice Girl Mel C has said Liz Truss represents girl power “in essence” but that the current economic situation in the UK is a “flipping disgrace”. The pop star said there were people around the country that were “desperate”.
Speaking on Times Radio at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Mel C said she had declined to have her photo taken with the Prime Minister at a recent event. Asked whether Ms Truss represented girl power, as a female leader, she replied: “You know, in essence. But I don’t want that to sound like that is my beliefs.
“It’s a very difficult time, as we all know, in the UK right now and I come from an area of the UK where lots of people struggle financially. I try not to be political but in all honesty it’s… a flipping disgrace.”
