Prime Minister Liz Truss will be interviewed on local radio here in Bristol this morning. The PM, whose newly appointed Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, last week revealed a string of tax and stamp duty cuts as part of his mini budget, will appear in an interview with James Hanson on BBC Radio Bristol at around 8:45am (September 29).
Liz Truss has been silent on the market crisis, including the collapse of the pound, since last Friday's mini-budget. But it was announced yesterday evening that the Prime Minister would do a series of BBC regional radio interviews this morning, starting at 8am with BBC Radio Leeds, followed by 8.08am Norfolk, 8.15am Kent, 8.22am Lancashire, 8.30am Nottingham, 8.38am Tees, 8.45am Bristol and 8.52am Stoke.
By the looks of the schedule BBC Radio Bristol will get the new PM for about seven minutes before she heads to their sister station in Stoke.
