“How do you feel knowing that children in a city you grew up in don’t have a bed to sleep in?” BBC Yorkshire asked Prime Minister Liz Truss about the cost of living crisis, levelling up and the future of Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

Ms Truss admitted she was "very concerned" to hear the decision to close, adding the government was working with local leaders and Peel Group "to see what can be done".Image caption,Responding to Ms Truss' comments, South Yorkshire's Mayor Oliver Coppard said: "I am really glad that the prime minister has said, again, that she is going to step in and help us save Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

Mr Coppard, who is now awaiting contact with Downing Street, said everything had been done "locally and regionally" to keep the airport open. He suggested the government could use measures under the Civil Contingencies Act to save the airport. During the same interview, Ms Truss was asked how, as a mother, she felt about Leeds charity Zarach, which provides beds for children living in poverty, receiving 40 referrals in the first week of the school year.

Ms Truss, who grew up in the Roundhay area of the city, replied: "I feel terrible. I am very concerned about those children's future, and what I am determined to do as prime minister is to make sure that we act to secure a positive future for people in Leeds and right across the country."

Come on trussliz DSA_Airport needs your help now savedoncasterairport

you are more bothered about migrants than your own people how many more millions are going to be wasted putting them up in luxury hotels they won't have to worry about high energy costs and high food prices give us back our country and stop blaming Putin for everything

.trussliz couldn't give a shiney shite about any kids, if they're not from a wealthy family that can feed and clothe them and keep them warm she's not interested. As she's proved since she too, over from Bozo. This is your average ToryScum ⬇️

How do you know if a Tory is lying? Its lips are moving.

The conservative government don't care a jot, they r going to spend time bringing Britain to its knees before we get a general election, then it will b years to build again with a new government.

Does she think people are so stupid and do not see that all what she has done, it was just for rich people? She does not care about ordinary people. She does not need to. Keep saying just bollocks.

Really Leeds 🫣
