Articles from The Guardian, The Times, and Sky News report on recent political activity, largely focused on the UK economy.
The Guardian reports that Liz Truss has made her first high-profile public appearances since leaving her cabinet position at the end of July; meanwhile, The Times, reports on a recent 1922 Committee meeting in which Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, shared his economic strategy plan, which was met with some pushback from members of his own party.
Sky News, meanwhile, takes a bit of a middle-ground approach, reporting on Truss' recent interview with the Telegraph, in which she both admitted to some communication missteps in her previous role and doubled down on her economic philosophy.
As we move closer to the UK's post-pandemic economic recovery, Truss and Hunt are leading different campaigns to help guide the direction of the country.
The Guardian reports that Truss has resurfaced, with notable public appearances, in an attempt to drum up support for a growth-focused economic agenda.
Meanwhile, The Times reports on a 1922 Committee meeting where Hunt defended his own competing economic strategy, only to be met with pushback from members of his own party, including former Prime Minister, Theresa May, who pushed for more meaningful 'success stories' as part of any economic plans.
Finally, Sky News' reporting on Truss' interview with the Telegraph, illustrates the challenges she may face in garnering support for her economic philosophy.
While she admits to some previous communication missteps, Truss maintains her philosophy was the right one while conceding that she underestimated the "strength of the economic orthodoxy."
