She “can’t spare the time” for an in-depth interview. She prefers the quick-fire, bullshit-tastic versions where she can say pretty much nothing, throw out a few insults and not be expected to show her workings at all. Sorry Nick. Yours looked a bit too grown-up, so it’s a no.

#LizTruss chickened out. Expect more of the same when she wins – a combo of arrogance & fear of scrutiny. https://t.co/PSVZTieNcz

You could replace her with a slowly burning barrel of oil? https://t.co/Q0VqKqH1Ja

'We regret to announce that Ms Truss is too busy doing some importunt photos of her driving a chuff chuff train, while wearing a hi-vis jacket and for some reason one of those hard hats' https://t.co/ZKgy55T9GG

Apparently, she'd stand up to Putin, but is scared of Nick Robinson.

Given that a recent poll returned, for Liz Truss, the word “untrustworthy” as the central descriptor…

…going back on a BBC interview she had agreed to will not help undo that brand. https://t.co/wf9O9y5obm pic.twitter.com/qwRrcnLVbh

Perhaps Nick Robinson should take a leaf out of Andrew Neil’s book.

“It is not too late. We have an interview prepared. Oven-ready, as Mr Johnson likes to say”

Andrew Neil issues a challenge for Boris Johnson to commit to an interview with him, to face questions on why people have “deemed him to be untrustworthy”https://t.co/daHLxEYn4r pic.twitter.com/oQ21uDdtJe
