EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Liz Truss's BBC Local Radio media round this morning, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:

“Liz Truss is in complete denial about the damage caused by her reckless and out of touch budget. 

“She failed to offer any reassurance to people who are worried sick about the impact on their mortgages, pensions and bills. Instead the Prime Minister is digging in with this totally disastrous approach that only benefits the very wealthiest while the vast majority suffer.

“Every day this government refuses to admit its mistakes risks doing more irreparable damage to our economy while people are left terrified about losing their homes. It’s time for Liz Truss to cancel the Conservative party conference, recall Parliament and focus on fixing this mess.”
