disgraceful and inexcusable.

This is essential viewing. The Tory party chairman is arguably the second most important campaigner for the Conservatives. Here he is supposed to be answering questions on behalf of all broadcasters. Naturally we wanted to know how he secured a safe seat for himself without giving Tory members any kind of say. Listen to his answer

@DavidAHaslam A draft paper perhaps to NICE implementing it as a " new -old therapy " that has robust evidence and cost effectiveness at its heart building on your excellent point .

Some good evidence and yet the continued squeeze on primary care resources undermines the workforce and pushing inexorably towards a service that is about process and data and not patients and people.

@RslewisSally @LifeObserver100 It’s is care needs in the community and enough acute beds The squeeze on both doesn’t help and creates the false narrative around perverse expectation of working smarter ,more efficiently.Ageing people with complex needs don’t fit nice and neatly,the human condition is messy.

Really sad to hear about the loss of this famous tree, in a mindless act of eco vandalism. On a day when we’re hearing about how much biodiversity we have lost in recent decades, the felling of this tree stands for all that loss.

@jujurants @Peston Agree journalist indulgence .?

[Rob Houghton @RobHoughton2]

The only good thing about hearing from her again is highlighting the split and the effect it will have on electoral failure . Keep talking for a bit longer Liz

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Liz Truss’s agenda - smaller state, lower tax, no compelled replacement of gas boilers and postponement of net zero measures, more regulatory divergence from EU, planning deregulation to encourage housebuilding, raising of pension age, total mistrust of the Whitehall establishment - is highly critical of Sunak’s and Hunt’s practice in government, if not always divergent from their privately held long term aspirations. Her ideological challenge to Sunak is reminiscent of Redwood’s to John Major in the mid 1990s. These sort of revealed splits in a governing party are rarely conducive to electoral success, to put it mildly.
