These clowns have learned nothing. Truss (who used to be banned by No10 media team from doing interviews because she is so bad at them) doing regional media because they think it will be more manageable and easier than national media. Arrogance. Stand by for 🚗 💥

Liz Truss is someone who decided to do a tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon, who has never done tightrope before, has naturally bad balance, can’t swim, has never seen a rope, and is pretty shit at walking.
Good luck Liz!

And finally, this.
Sad to see lots of snobby tweets about local radio. These presenters are some of the best in the business and have a closer and better understanding of their listeners' lives than any network presenter. And these interviews are often the toughest for politicians.
