Richard Bacon highlights ‘damage’ Liz Truss has done to Britain since last Friday

Richard Bacon highlighted the “damage” Liz Truss has done to Britain in the space of a week as he appeared on the BBC Question Time panel on Thursday.

On the same episode, a first-time buyer sparked gasps from the audience by claiming her mortgage offer has jumped from 4.5 per cent to 10.5 per cent since last Friday.
