In a series of media interviews on Tuesday, Liz Truss told Sky News’s Beth Rigby the government had ‘not yet’ made a decision on whether to increase benefits after the rise of inflation, despite the former prime minister Boris Johnson promising to do so.

Johnson had said there would be an uplift as this year’s benefits are pegged against the previous September’s inflation at 3.1%. It is now significantly higher and so the poorest have already seen a major hit to their finances.

She is wearing tennis shoes?
Why does she remind me of a social worker
It's funny how these on disabled benefit can do the marathon or get to the north pole for charity but not get a job
Get a job
ELECTION NOW
more roads???
1 tory scumbag after another… Hasn't Britain taken enough from these paracites 😔
Why anchor voice like men voice
Beth Rigby at Sky News (the lady conducting the interview) is nothing if not persistent.
Roads built?!? We can't even manage the ones we've got. Get out your Helicopter liz get on the m6 and you'll see LOL
This country is doomed with this woman in control, totally disgusting.
BS …talking rubbish
We know the answer already, as does the interviewer as does Liz . She's not honest. And she will not make any difference to anyone
She’s crumbling…get her out
She come over has if she is on Glue no idea like the man in the moon , if she could do the job why impose 45% tax on the UK 🇬🇧 citizens then over night does a complete U-turn and scraps it then puts it over has if she is some kind of miracle worker 👷 Nuts springs to mind .
Nice to see an aggressive interview for once.
We have a literal crackhead running the country!
TYhe reason she doent lnow is because her master still havent made the decision to give her tyo chirp out… She is the dumbes they could get just like BoriS…… She is really there for money net because she is clever…..
It's about time we stopped the gravy train for people sponging off the state.
A U turn on the 45% tax rate is not enough.
Hopefully the dumb witch will be sacked soon so she can go on UC and find out just how bad it is.
Seriously, why is this woman in charge of our country? Who exactly voted her in? Because it sure wasn't me.
Vote 'Muppet' as you will get one anyway.
Learn. Russia are dirtbags. Bluffers they rule with fear and control. They are easy to defeat.
Karen in control of the country
Don't you think she should look at fuel as of last Christmas for courts have been making 20ppl for the supposed shortage give people a chance and put the price right and stop this daylight robbery as it would help the economy by people having that bit more to spend instead of price riseingor is it because of the shares in shell
She’s rude. She does not give her chance to speak. This is a one way interview.
I hate her robotic brainless repetitive nonsense. She’d be ok announcing train departures and nothing else
She knows nothing, sunak is the only way out uk has!
Can’t believe how conservative the UK is.
what about getting rid of rushi frozen tax codes….and all the other other ROBBING taxes he put in place…all because he wanted to pay of some of BORIS spending so he could lower taxes at election time…never mind what he did to the pensioners AND there still is vat on energy bills ..because its a windfall for the conservatives
Mistrust Miss Truss
oh yes you have lying cow
Not yet? Does she not realise the fear and anxiety she is perpetuating? We need an election fast!!
trainers ?
shuuush 🤫
How come the videos of Truss's speech have 'comments turned off'? Are they scared of the comments people will make? I would be …
"I'm being very honest" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how hasnt a GE been called yet this is just getting ridiculous with this party.
if she raises benefits in line with inflation I'll spend 10 minutes licking her rusty sheriffs badge.
U better have a conclusion
Otherwise don't and be scared
British politics and all the media industry that benefits from it is now just a pantomime of absurdity that British tax payers are obliged to pay for
Nice trainers Lizz
Always be careful of your words
Never vote!
Just another e..stab..lishment's u..g..l..y s..a..t..a..n..i..c t..r..a..n..n..y!
Lying 🐄 she has said benefits won’t rise in-line. I’m ashamed I voted for her. She’s got no balls and will uturn again.
😂😂😂 naaahh she’s under pressure!! That’s how it’s supposed to be cuh these prime ministers are full of it mate
F… THIS GOVERNMENT
SHE IS A B…. A BIG BIG B….
