1. Truss ‘running scared’ of scrutiny

Liz Truss has been accused of “running scared” after she pulled out of an interview with the BBC. Just weeks ago, the foreign secretary agreed to a prime time interview with Nick Robinson on BBC One. However, she has now cancelled. Rishi Sunak, her Tory leadership rival, has already been quizzed by Robinson. “Ms Truss’s team say she can no longer spare the time to appear on Our Next Prime Minister,” said the BBC. “We regret that it has not been possible to do an in-depth interview with both candidates despite having reached agreement to do so.”
