Liz #Truss on Chris Mason interview now; 'the reason I wrote my book, is that I want my policy ideas (that totally failed) to go into the #Conservative party manifesto'
It really was quite a bizzare interview.

Good to start the week with some positive news; #manufacturing #ukmfg matters, and is responsible for 23% of UK's #economy (including indirect impact).

See you at #MACH24 conference this week, to see how we can make it matter even more by investing more, creating a proper

It seems to me that the #ECHR might have overreached a little here. It's however a positive debate and the #responsible thing to do is engage with the debate, as the chance of any nation meeting its #climate commitments is not looking great which is not good for any of us.

These guys spent years in prestigious debating societies and are very good at it. The truth is, however, that #trade is complex and the simplistic solutions they persist in selling us don't exist. Above all, the practical #Brexit realities, now

I'd be embarrassed and standing down if I failed so spectacularly to achieve my business plan 👇

I think there should be an independent body providing much more regular and clear updates on achievement against manifesto pledges, for all voters to see. That shouldn't be hard to

I am equally angry at these failings (and often get caught up in them at #Euston also). I also support returning the operation of our #Railway into public ownership.

Thanks Ed Davey for your consistent leadership of our #LGBT + rights. It is much appreciated.
