A grilling - Liz Truss on Local BBC Radio

Available for over a year

It's not everyday the Prime Minister appears on Local BBC Radio - let alone just weeks into the job - and at time when the country is facing significant economic and political pressures. In a jam-packed hour, Liz Truss spoke to eight local radio Breakfast presenters - where she was grilled on a cross section of issues - among them fracking and immigration. But it was the economy - and the Treasury's mini budget that featured prominently. Featuring Local BBC Radio presenters Rima Ahmed in Leeds, Chris Goreham in Norfolk, Anna Cookson in Kent, Graham Liver in Lancashire, Sarah Julian in Nottingham, Amy Oakden in Tees, James Hanson in Bristol and John Acres in Stoke.
