Rishi Sunak says Nicola Sturgeon must not be ignored after Liz Truss calls first minister an 'attention seeker'

Meanwhile, Mr Sunak has also accused Ms Truss of"imitation" as the foreign secretary is set to reveal her levelling up plan which has been backed by regional Tory leaders.

The foreign secretary is expected to announce that she will review the levelling up formula to fix underinvestment in regional infrastructure if she becomes prime minister and will ensure transport links are better integrated across buses, road, and rail. Ms Truss will add that her administration would make the most of the UK's"new Brexit freedoms" - including creating low tax, low regulation"investment zones" on brownfield sites.

Ahead of unveiling her levelling up proposals at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Saturday, Ms Truss said:"My mission as prime minister will be to level up opportunity and realise aspiration no matter who you are or where you live."Sunak quizzed on diverting funds from poor areasteam accused Ms Truss of"copy and pasting policies put in place by Rishi" and"re-announcing two-year-old government policies".

Mr Street said:"She has a bold vision for our regional economies, with the policies we need to make levelling up a reality. Her plan for investment zones, for instance, will give us a powerful tool for unlocking new investment, jobs, and growth."

Unelected yet again even putin is elected….ish

Sunak is a desperate man. He wanted Boris out so he could become a PM hence, it backfire.

Ginger midget is an anti-English wrong’un - in agreement with Liz

I prefer her method as probably does most of the country including Scotland

Rishi the mirror image of Robin Hood. Disgraceful.

Scotland will be glad to get rid of the two of them !!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hope they gain independence, get back in EU, and welcome asylum-seelers from England, N.Ireland, and Wales.

SangitaMyska Does anyone standing for election *not* seek attention?

Care and kindness.

Makes no odds either way when you look at unionist vote in Scotland in last election.....

So Rishi is a woman beater?

I think Liz Truss was right

This is the failed launch of the rocket launched by the Islamic Jihad organization into Israel, but as you can see the rocket hit inside the Gaza Strip and caused the death of four children. The Palestinians spew hate online as if Israel is responsible for the children's deaths.

Rishi came runner up unlucky.

but he also said rob deprived areas. mixed msgs here

When fascism takes over the Tories

Sky's information bar at the bottom of the screen has been doing their best to make the SNP look like an extreme organisation, we can see the bias and know what you're doing 🤨

Sometimes you have to keep your thoughts to yourself.. Liz Truss saying that was probably not a good idea really. It comes a cross has unprofessional. 🫣
