Truss is just the wrong person for the world stage at PM level. Can't hold herself on the podium and does whatever it takes to further here career rather than speak from conviction.

I hope to attend a hustings event in London shortly and would like to put to her (if she's in the last two) questions about energy independence, food production and where's all the money coming from.

You can probably guess her responses:

• Will agree we need to develop more energy independence and will probably go along with a small Welsh nuclear power station to tick the box but don't expect anything much else.
• Food production - the UK lost its self-sufficiency on this a long time ago so don't expect much except here especially given the difficulty of getting people to pick crops.
• Where's all the money coming from? The never never, obviously but expect a nod to telling the audience what they want to hear - a more dynamic economy freed from the stifling EU legislation generating more tax revenue with talk of green investments.
