Liz Truss accidentally let slip that she's fine with the rich getting even richer, as she was quizzed over the banker's bonus cap.

The BBC asked the prime minister about whose side she was on, when so many people are struggling through the cost of living crisis.

When asked if it was fine if the rich get richer, she added: "Yes I am absolutely prepared to take those decisions."
