LIZ Truss responded to criticism about her Chancellor’s disastrous mini-budget by urging Scotland to build more nuclear power stations and help get more gas out of the North Sea.
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford slammed Truss’s economic plan at Prime Minister’s Questions, outlining how it had sent interest rates through the roof with some families seeing their mortgage payments go up by around £450 a month.
As a result, Blackford asked the PM if she would now give up her “desperate” plan to save her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng by scapegoating the Bank of England.
