As the Prime Minister Liz Truss was grilled by Laura Kuenssberg, viewers questioned whether she REALLY understands that 'people are worried'.

A cabinet colleague til a few weeks ago eviscerating her plan and not committing to vote for the tax changes. That comment, on the Prime Minister’s energy bills package, came after Ms Truss said she could not let people head into winter without financial support on that score.
