Liz Truss tilbrakte formiddagen snakker med lokale BBC-radiostasjoner å insistere på at regjeringens økonomiske politikk er på rett kurs til tross for Kwasi Kwartengs minibudsjett en nødintervensjon fra Bank of England for å forhindre et løp på pensjonsmidler, et fall i verdien av pundet og en økning i kostnadene for statsgjeld.
Statsministeren sa at hun var “forberedt på å ta vanskelige beslutninger” og ikke ville endre politikk, til tross for at hun gjentatte ganger ble presset av programledere, noe som førte til kritikk fra mange mediekommentatorer over hele det politiske spekteret, hvor en kalte intervjuene en “fullstendig katastrofe” og en annen. sa at det var “den mest brutale runden med lokalradiointervjuer en statsminister har møtt”.
Her er en oppsummering:
Fra Observer’s Toby Helm:
Hearing Liz Truss speaking on local radio saying the mini budget is going according to plan in the face of terrifying evidence is unsustainable. Blind to reality, which was the problem in the first place

Å høre Liz Truss snakke i lokalradioen si at minibudsjettet går etter planen i møte med skremmende bevis er uholdbart. Blind for virkeligheten, som var problemet i utgangspunktet

Fra Mail on Sundays Dan Hodges:
Liz Truss currently sounds like a pre-recorded message telling you she's sorry the Government is out, but please call back later.

Liz Truss høres for øyeblikket ut som en forhåndsinnspilt melding som forteller deg at hun beklager at regjeringen er ute, men ring tilbake senere.

This is a terrible media round from Liz Truss. Robotic. Totally lacking in empathy. But it's also revealing the fundamental problem. The policy itself is utterly, completely and totally indefensible.

Dette er en forferdelig medierunde fra Liz Truss. Robotisk. Mangler totalt empati. Men det avslører også det grunnleggende problemet. Selve politikken er fullstendig, fullstendig og totalt uforsvarlig.

Hvis du akkurat våkner, er Liz Truss i gang med sin regionale kringkastingsrunde, og den lyden du kan høre er den røde muren som kollapser…

That was an utter disaster for Liz Truss. But there was no way it couldn't have been a disaster. There is nothing left to debate now. She either reverses course, or she gets wiped out politically. Those are the choices she faces.

Det var en total katastrofe for Liz Truss. Men det var ingen måte det ikke kunne ha vært en katastrofe. Det er ingenting igjen å diskutere nå. Enten snur hun kursen, eller så blir hun utslettet politisk. Det er valgene hun står overfor.

Fra Guardian’s Pippa Crerar:
Tough time on @BBCBristol – Truss asked about making bad situation worse & BoE stepping in to “clear up the mess”.
PM blames Putin & says it’s “right that govt takes action” but @jhansonradio points out market jitters were result of mini budget.
She even laughs at one point.

Tøff tid på @BBCBristol – Truss spurte om å gjøre den dårlige situasjonen verre og BoE gikk inn for å “rydde opp i rotet”.
Statsminister gir Putin skylden og sier at det er “riktig at regjeringen tar affære”, men @jhansonradio påpeker uro i markedet var et resultat av minibudsjett.
Hun ler til og med på et tidspunkt.

Fra Politics Home’s Alan White:
Truss really needs to spell out the long-term benefits of her plans in detail and show how people will be protected from e.g. home repossessions. She did neither this morning and the markets reacted accordingly

Truss trenger virkelig å forklare de langsiktige fordelene med planene hennes i detalj og vise hvordan folk vil bli beskyttet mot f.eks. hjembeslag. Det gjorde hun heller ikke denne morgenen, og markedene reagerte deretter
— Alan White (@aljwhite) 29. september 2022
Fra Telegraph’s Jack Maidment:
Liz Truss insisted economic chaos is not confined to the UK and there are “stormy times” across the world.
She refused to accept the mini-Budget had played any sort of role in the instability we have seen domestically since last Friday.
Safe to say a lot of people disagree.

Liz Truss insisterte på at økonomisk kaos ikke er begrenset til Storbritannia, og at det er “stormfulle tider” over hele verden.
Hun nektet å akseptere minibudsjettet som hadde spilt noen form for rolle i ustabiliteten vi har sett innenlands siden forrige fredag.
Man kan trygt si at mange er uenige.
— Jack Maidment (@jrmaidment) 29. september 2022
Not sure why No 10 thought a regional radio round was a good idea.
It was eight five-minute interviews in a row of Liz Truss being asked the same bruising questions over and over again.
One of the more brutal morning rounds I can remember.

Ikke sikker på hvorfor No 10 syntes en regional radiorunde var en god idé.
Det var åtte fem minutters intervjuer på rad hvor Liz Truss ble stilt de samme blåmerkespørsmålene om og om igjen.
En av de mer brutale morgenrundene jeg kan huske.

Fra ITV Paul Brand:
I had the great job of doing these regional interviews with PMs ahead of conferences for years and I can’t remember a more brutal round for a Prime Minister. But Liz Truss is utterly doubling down.

Jeg hadde den store jobben med å gjøre disse regionale intervjuene med statsministere i forkant av konferanser i årevis, og jeg kan ikke huske en mer brutal runde for en statsminister. Men Liz Truss dobler seg totalt.

Her strategy just seems to be to pretend she’s living in an alternate reality. And to blame it all on the international situation.

Strategien hennes ser bare ut til å være å late som om hun lever i en alternativ virkelighet. Og å skylde alt på den internasjonale situasjonen.

Fra Times’ Steven Swinford:
Liz Truss broadcast round:
* £45bn tax-cutting budget was 'right thing to do'
* Hits back at unfairness criticism. 'It's not fair to have a recession'
* Pitch based on counterfactual – bills would be higher, growth would be worse
* Says you can't rule out fracking in Lancs

Liz Truss sendte runde:
* 45 milliarder pund skattereduserende budsjett var “riktig å gjøre”
* Slår tilbake på urettferdighetskritikk. “Det er ikke rettferdig å ha en resesjon”
* Pitch basert på kontrafaktisk – regninger ville være høyere, vekst ville være dårligere
* Sier at du ikke kan utelukke fracking i Lancs

Fra jeg-en Paul Waugh:
This silence spoke volumes.
Truss: “Too often, tax policy has just been seen as being about redistribution. It's not. It's also about how we grow the size of the pie so that everyone can benefit “@johnacres48: “By borrowing more and putting our mortgages up.”

Denne stillheten talte mye.
Truss: “Altfor ofte har skattepolitikken nettopp blitt sett på som å handle om omfordeling. Det er det ikke. Det handler også om hvordan vi øker størrelsen på kaken slik at alle kan dra nytte av det.”@johnacres48: “Ved å låne mer og sette opp boliglånene våre.”

Fra City AM’s Jack Mendel:
It's actually astonishing that Liz Truss is trying to claim this is a 'global problem', when her party spent five years of coalition blaming an actual global financial crash on the Labour Party [when Gordon Brown actually *saved* banks by bringing them into public ownership]

Det er faktisk forbløffende at Liz Truss prøver å hevde at dette er et “globalt problem”, da partiet hennes brukte fem år med koalisjon på å skylde på Arbeiderpartiet for en faktisk global finanskrasj. [when Gordon Brown actually *saved* banks by bringing them into public ownership]

Fra Byline Times’ Adam Bienkov:
That has to be the most brutal round of local radio interviews I've ever heard a Prime Minister face.
Not a single note of contrition from Liz Truss, or even the slightest indication she plans to change course in any way.

Det må være den mest brutale runden med lokalradiointervjuer jeg noen gang har hørt en statsminister møte.
Ikke en eneste note av anger fra Liz Truss, eller til og med den minste indikasjon på at hun planlegger å endre kurs på noen måte.

Fra New Statesman’s Adrian Bradley:
genuinely believe Liz Truss would have been smarter to have done the Today programme this morning. It's much easier to waffle one 15 minute interview than 10 individually specialist ones with presenters that know their area way better than you do.

tror oppriktig Liz Truss ville vært smartere å ha gjort Today-programmet i morges. Det er mye lettere å blande ett 15-minutters intervju enn 10 individuelle spesialistintervjuer med foredragsholdere som kjenner sitt område mye bedre enn deg.
