Liz Truss has said regional pay boards were not part of her central costings during a Conservative party hustings in Cardiff. The foreign secretary was forced into a U-turn earlier this week on a controversial policy that would have seen public sector workers outside London potentially face pay cuts relative to costs of living in their regions. Pressed to address where she would plug the £8.8bn gap that the policy would have filled, Truss said the policy was not a part of her ‘central costings’ and was ‘misrepresented’.

A joke of a question and to her credit she did not avoid the answer. The amount in question in comparison to the budget is small change. However to make it appear to big a bigger issue they avoid mentioning percentages and dust off phrases like millions and billions as they know this will agitate a viewing audience. Know minister is ever briefed absolute detail to explain each facet of a budget. The budget because the the country is dealing with inflation will have been affected.
