‘The lady IS for turning’: Liz Truss U-turns on public sector pay plan

Liz Truss has suffered a bumpy day on the Conservative leadership campaign trail after announcing a major policy U-turn.

That would mean government employees getting paid according to where they live.

But she has retracted the plan after her opponents described the policy as "crackers".
