‘The media generates stories in order to grab a headline, I don't know where you're coming from with this.’ Tory MP Marco Longhi clashes with Sangita Myska saying that the media are generating lies and hysteria. SangitaMyska

Mr Longhi’s support for Truss and Kwarteng’s stance comes after prominent Tory MP’s, such as Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid, have taken steps to generate a distance between themselves and the current leadership - for example avoiding the ongoing Tory party conference.

“Every country is facing high inflationary pressures and the value of their currencies are losing ground against the dollar,” said Mr Longhi.Mr Longhi’s comments follow a clash between himself and Sangita, where he argued that last week’s crash in the value of pound sterling is not directly related to last week’s announcement of the mini-budget.

The report suggested that the Chancellor had attended a drinks reception with prominent hedgefunders soon after unveiling the new package. At the reception, Kwarteng is said to have been ‘egged on’ by the hedgefunders to execute further underfunded cuts.“I don’t know where you’re coming from, and [the economic plans] have not shaken MPs.”

“Every MP that I am bumping into has been completely calm and positive about the direction that the party is moving in,” said Mr Longhi.
