Andrew Neil is very good at this sort of thing and Liz Truss, well, have a watch of this and make up your own mind.

It’s the BBC’s Politics Live programme, where Neil quizzed Truss over the government’s promise to build 200,000 new starter homes in 2014.

The chef’s kiss on this. @afneil to Liz Truss: In 2014 you promised to build 200,000 new starter homes. That was 5 years ago. How many did you build?”
Liz Truss: “I don’t have the figures.”
AN: “it’s an easy number to remember, ZERO, you built ZERO new starter homes.” pic.twitter.com/rPz6HuK8Zs

Andrew Neil: ‘You say you have a plan. You had a plan in 2014 to build 200,000 new starter homes. That was five years ago. How many did you build?’

Liz Truss: ‘There haven’t been as many starter homes as we would have liked. I don’t have the exact numbers.;”

Andrew Neil: ‘It’s easy to remember. It’s zero.’

How unfortunate.

The dismissal. The confusion. The destruction. #politicslive pic.twitter.com/rdxfFjlWUq

Love the mouth flapping at the end with no noise coming out, like a fish out of water… 🎣

If she stood in a puddle she would be out of her depth
