Truss was on BBC Breakfast to talk about the latest developments in Ukraine but barely minutes into her interview, Nugent asked about an alleged birthday party during lockdown for the Prime

referring to the independent report from Sue Gray. Truss abruptly replied: “No,” before Nugent went on to push Truss for answers about the parties alleged to have been held by government
ministers during lockdown. “Do you know when that might arrive?” Nugent asked. Truss explained: “Well, we don’t know when the report might arrive it’s an independent report which is being
prepared by Sue Gray. READ MORE: THE BLACKLIST'S ARAM STAR DETAILS AUDITION MOMENT HE LANDED HIS ROLE “We are in the same position as everybody else waiting for that report; I honestly

“Oh, here we go again! BBC. "Let's get a minister on to talk about the crisis on the Russian/Ukrainian border for a minute or two - then let's chat shit about parties
instead!" #BBCBreakfast.” “And report about to be released. Felt sorry too for Liz, who looks wretched compared to last appearance I saw.” @Helen6412985 tweeted: “#BBCBreakfast you’re
talking about a serious situation in Ukraine, and all you want to discuss is parties in 10 Downing. Truss revealed the government's plans on how they are going to move forward in

which would be severe economic cost to Russia if they were to stage an incursion into Ukraine," she detailed. “Also helping Ukraine with the supply of defensive weapons, and we are
strengthening our support to NATO as well.” Truss also touched on the latest intelligence about the imminence of any threat, explaining: “Well, there could be a threat at any time. “What we
are also seeing is Russian operations such as cyber-attacks, the attempt to install a puppet regime into Kyiv. “As well as false flag operation, so as well as potentially a major incursion
