True?
German media report Truss wants to end the "independence" of the central bank/Bank of England and wants to subject them to political instruction.

The Labour Party lost about 91,000 members last year, according its accounts.
The party had 432,213 members at the end of 2021, down from 523,332 in 2020. Leader Sir Keir Starmer said party membership always declines between elections - but left-wing critics said Jeremy Corbyn's departure had sparked an "exodus" of members. Labour is still thought to have more than twice as many members as the Conservative Party. The Conservatives do not publish membership figures, but the party recently indicated that it was more than 160,000. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62582014

Rishi Sunak says Tory leadership rival Liz Truss cannot afford tax cuts and cost-of-living help in his latest attack on her economic plans.
Mr Sunak said Ms Truss would put the public finances in "serious jeopardy" and stoke inflation if she becomes PM. But Ms Truss's team said tax cuts were the best way to help people urgently with rising living costs. Mr Sunak is trailing Ms Truss in polls of Tory members, with 12 days to go until voting closes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62628176

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has been criticised after she said the "jury was still out" on French President Emmanuel Macron.
Her remark came as she was asked if Mr Macron was a "friend or foe" of the UK at a Tory leadership hustings. She added that if elected PM she would judge him on "deeds not words". But Labour's David Lammy accused Ms Truss of "a woeful lack of judgement", saying she had insulted one of "Britain's closest allies". Ms Truss, widely seen as the clear front-runner to be the next Conservative leader and prime minister, made the remark at the penultimate leadership hustings in Norwich, to loud applause. Her comment came at the end of the hustings during a series of "quickfire questions" posed by the host, TalkTV's Julia Hartley-Brewer. When asked the same question Mr Sunak said Mr Macron was a "friend". One Conservative minister said Ms Truss's comments had "completely undermined our relationship with France", calling her a "faux Thatcher", a reference to the infamously Eurosceptic former Tory prime minister. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62682448

Emmanuel Macron has warned of "serious problems" for France-UK relations after the favourite to be the next British prime minister refused to say if the French president was "friend or foe".
Mr Macron reacted to remarks made by Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who said the jury was out on the French leader. Mr Macron insisted the UK remained an ally, despite the occasional error made by its leaders. And Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Mr Macron was a "good buddy" of the UK. Senior politicians have accused Ms Truss, who is the frontrunner in the contest to succeed Mr Johnson as prime minister next month, of damaging the UK's relationship with France, a close ally. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62687295

This is it! Truss gives EU just TEN days in final ultimatum over hated deal
The Northern Ireland protocol, introduced as part of Boris Johnson's Brexit deal, kept Northern Ireland in the EU single market for goods, effectively creating a border in the Irish Sea - something Mr Johnson had promised voters would only happen "over my dead body". Tory leadership favourite Ms Truss will look to trigger Article 16, allowing the UK to act unilaterally on the protocol, as soon as the existing arrangements to ease checks on goods travelling between Northern Ireland and Great Britain expire on September 15, according to Government sources. Article 16 can be triggered if the agreement is causing "serious economic, societal or environmental difficulties" or a "diversion of trade", and Ms Truss has warned: "I will not accept anything that does not deliver on the key issues I talked about." A source close to the likely next Prime Minister told The Times that her preference remained for a "negotiated solution". https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...out&li=AAnZ9Ug

Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are set to make their final pitches to become Conservative leader in front of party members in London.
The two candidates are expected to face intense questioning over the cost-of-living crisis and plans to help households with energy bills. The twelfth and last hustings comes after Truss cancelled a TV interview with the BBC's Nick Robinson scheduled for Tuesday evening. At least 160,000 Conservative party members are voting for the next Tory leader - and UK prime minister - with the ballot closing at 1700 on Friday. The UK will find out who its new prime minister will be in five days - on Monday.
