does a very good job on delivering financial stability,” she replied, and when pressed again for not answering the question, she added that “the Bank of England does that and they do a very good job of it.”, Ms Truss was faced with questioning over how both she and the Chancellor had kept a low-profile despite the economic turmoil which had seen the pound fall to record lows, and seen the Bank of England forced to intervene on pensions.
Similarly the Prime Minister was seen to struggle when questioned by BBC Stoke about forcing mortgage fees to increase due to her economic plans. “We need to borrow more this winter for the energy crisis that we’re facing and I think that’s the right thing to do,” she said.“I don’t think anyone is arguing we shouldn’t have acted on energy,” Ms Truss added, when asked specifically about how we will now be paying more on mortgages than we would have saved with energy.
Local issues such as fracking also saw little more detail on the policy, with the crucial question of “local consent” still left unclear by the Prime Minister and central government, over a week after it emerged that it would be going ahead. She told BBC Lancashire that she wouldn’t rule out the whole of Lancashire as a potential site for fracking and that work to identify which areas consent to fracking and which ones do not is still ongoing, with the Energy Secretary due to set out more details in the future.
