Politicians See Face To Face Interviews As Any Risk Says Nick Robinson Liz Truss

The Conservative leadership frontrunner was due to be questioned by the BBC’s senior journalist in a face-to-face interview to be broadcast at 7pm on Tuesday on BBC One. However, he withdrew on Monday because he “could no longer make the time”. Asked what events she was participating in Tuesday, her campaign said there was “nothing to highlight today.” A source in the foreign secretary’s campaign said she did not attend the interview, which she had agreed to, as she focused on winning as many votes as possible ahead of Monday’s leadership result and preparing for government. Writing for the BBC, Robinson said he suspected Truss had “not yet completed her plans” for the cost of living crisis and was “reluctant to put it on TV in front of an audience of millions”. The BBC Radio 4 Today presenter added: “The BBC does not believe it is entitled to interview those who rule or want to rule us. I am all too aware of the enormous pressure that politicians and their often very small groups face. “However, I want to say why broadcast interviews matter to the health of our democracy. In this contest, tens of millions of people had no say in choosing their leader. They want to see and hear their leaders challenged, challenged and tested.” A source in Sunak’s campaign said their tally showed Truss had given just two interviews of any kind during the campaign, while the former chancellor had undertaken nine, which included three spots on BBC Radio 4’s Today program and an appearance on ITV’s This Morning. Robinson said politicians and advisers claimed interviews were no longer about “engaging in a grown-up conversation” and that instead of watching interviews live, many “see short snippets on social media, which are usually gaffes or serious questions from the interviewers”. The BBC journalist insisted this was “up to a point”, as “around 2 million people watched my BBC One interview with Rishi Sunak” broadcast last month and “around 7 million listened to the long interviews on the Today programme”. . Broadcaster Andrew Neil said Truss had refused an interview with him on Channel 4 during the leadership contest. Sunak agreed to be interviewed by the veteran journalist.

Boris Johnson, the prime minister, also pulled out of an interview with Neill on the BBC ahead of the December 2019 general election, despite all other leaders from the major parties agreeing to do so. Robinson concluded: “The in-depth political interview is dead, some say. Boris Johnson hated them. “Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn were not much more keen. I hope and believe they are wrong. “That’s why I’m looking forward to an in-depth interview with our next Prime Minister, whether it’s Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak.
