Liz Truss called for us to succeed as an ‘aspiration nation’ and ’embrace free trade’ leaving people confused

"Liz Truss wants to 'double down on levelling up' in an 'aspiration nation'. She also wants to destroy the English language, it seems."

Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak will go head-to-head in a TV debate after the battle to become the next prime minister became toxic with the two rival camps clashing over immigration, China and the economy.

The BBC debate at 9pm comes after a weekend that saw allies of the two Tory leadership hopefuls trade increasingly personal attacks.

Both candidates are spending today engaging in final preparations ahead of the first showdown between the two.

Sophie Raworth will host the debate in Stoke, with the BBC’s political editor Chris Mason and economics editor Faisal Islam offering analysis and some follow-up questions.

The studio audience will be made up entirely of people who voted Conservative at the last general election.

Truss

Liz decided to head over to The Telegraph to pen her final piece before she does battle with Sunak this evening.

From behind a paywall she made her plea to the country or a few thousand Tory members.

Doubling down on levelling up to deliver an aspiration nation. I’m glad the era of soundbite politics has finally been laid to rest. pic.twitter.com/SGTfn8Cddw

My God. I had to treble-check that this is real. “double down on levelling up”? “aspiration nation”?

Thinking about it, doesn’t that last phrase mean a nation which sucks?

Or maybe a nation of suckers?

“Yeah good thanks.”

And don’t forget, this will be a *very* specific kind of “aspiration nation” in which the actual prime minister wears earrings that cost four quid and anyone caught wearing prada will be publicly shamed.https://t.co/4h5qo1hqbJ

This woman can hardly string a coherent sentence together. "doubling down on levelling up" though 🤣🤣🤣. WTF, and is "aspiration nation" the name of a proposed Tory gammon game show? Effin woeful. pic.twitter.com/UZIhXg9IVD

The Tories have been in government for 12 years. What have you been doing in all that time? https://t.co/CM8k6BO9lI

We used to have free, frictionless trade with our nearest and largest trading partners until Brexit. You rightly campaigned passionately for remaining in the EU, but you now support ending the free trade we had before. I’m confused 🤔

“I am determined to double down on levelling up”
What does that even mean?
You talk such endless rubbish.
Idiotic slogans to dupe the hard of thinking.
You’ve done no levelling up.
Double zero is still zero.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
