Truss "Running Scared"
Lib Dems say Liz Truss is running scared of scrutiny ahead of the Tory leadership vote.
Wendy Chamberlain MP commented: "Liz Truss is running scared of the media and proper public scrutiny.
"How can she lead our country through an economic crisis when she can't even cope with a basic media interview?"
Truss was to be interviewed by the BBC tonight but has pulled out.
Wendy, who is the Lib Dem Chief Whip in the House of Commons, added of Liz: "She wants to follow in Margaret Thatcher's footsteps but she's fallen at the first hurdle.
"She's fighting for the highest office by answering the lowest number of difficult questions."
