Liz Truss seems to forget where she is during Tory roundups

Conservative leadership candidate Liz Truss tonight has seemed to forget where she was, as she told the public they were in Derbyshire.

There was no response from Tory members attending the event at the town's famous racecourse of Gloucestershire, and Ms Truss continued with her comments without correcting herself.

Perhaps the Foreign Secretary could be forgiven for blurring her location during the sixth in a series of 12 hustings that have already taken Ms Truss and her managerial rival Rishi Sunak on a whirlwind UK tour featuring visits to Leeds, Exeter, Cardiff, Eastbourne and Darlington.

Ms Trus' blunder s came as she outlined her energy policy, with a focus on securing responsible supplies by allowing fracking and increasing nuclear power.

She told her audience that it wanted to "continue to deliver the small modular nuclear reactors that we produce here in Derbyshire, and we need to continue with nuclear power stations as well".
