Good morning. Well, at least one Tory kept her counsel yesterday. Perhaps resting ahead of the most important speech of her life, Liz Truss spent most of Tuesday at Conservative conference refusing to say things: look at the Google news results if you don’t believe me.
She refused to say benefits will rise in line with inflation; she refused to say whether there would be more U-turns on the mini-budget; she squeezed in a bit of refusing to say whether she stopped King Charles III going to Cop27. Did she trust Kwasi Kwarteng? Liz Truss refused to say. (A little later, she concluded that she did.)
