Liz Truss has branded Nicola Sturgeon an 'attention seeker' and said the best way of dealing with her is to 'ignore her'

During the hustings event Ms Truss also ruled out making changes to hunting laws, said she was "prepared to break eggs" in taking on Treasury and Whitehall orthodoxy, and pledged to defend free speech.

He said: "If you look at my plans going forward, yes, of course I want to be responsible in managing inflation - that's the sensible Conservative thing to do, but, gosh, do I want to be radical about how we grow this economy. "I want to reform the corporate tax system ... Liz Truss's policies on corporate taxation are exactly the failed Treasury orthodoxy of the last 10 years, which hasn't worked. I want to change it and grow the economy."In a varied series of questions from party members - who will decide the next PM - the former chancellor was also pressed on what he would do if not a politician.

She said: "I could have remained undeclared, I could be off sipping pina coladas right now but I'm not because this is too important and I'm not going to leave this to chance."Ms Mordaunt noted choosing between the two candidates is hard, adding: "Who can lead? Who can build that team and deliver for our country? Who does have that bold economic plan that our nation needs?

If only we could ignore Truss

Can they not both get in the ring and do battle in a best idea 3 rounds

How very adult

Why does she want to have scraps with leaders of other countries all the time?

She's actually doing Nicola S a favour. This language does not sit well with anyone let alone Scots. Shows an utter lack of respect and likely to push people to tick YES if there is another referendum

Good god, the womans a human wrecking ball

I would have thought taking NicolaSturgeon seriously as the threat she is to the U.K. would be the best option. Sturgeon relies on WM to ignore her while she forces an indy2 by stealth.

Haha who’s the attention seeker haha Liz dress up box truss I’d say.

Mrs Instagram Truss speaks

Really

Liz must not forget Nicola is elected sitting first minister of Scotland. Such a derogatory statement is very much insulting the Scots. Imagine what will be Liz's attitude if Liz become priminster .

I guess ignoring her will avoid the need to debate with her …. Truss hopes

Liz Truss talks shite! ✌️

‘Pot and kettle’ spring to mind

Quite right. Nothing but a lickspittle.

Nicola Sturgeon was elected whereas Liz Truss is a stop gap from the Tory spares bin

True dat

“United” Kingdom 🤔

Sooner Scotland gets outs of this Union the better.....Tory scumbags
