Travel 'may find Number 10's door increasingly closed'

Liz Truss’s Downing Street door could become “increasingly closed” to hearing the needs of sectors such as travel should the embattled prime minister need to cling to power in the coming months.

Goodall warned travel would struggle to get a decent hearing from the current government

That was the message from journalist Lewis Goodall, who addressed the Abta Travel Convention on Wednesday on the political and economic hurdles – at home and overseas – heading the industry’s way.


Goodall, former Newsnight policy editor and co-host of The News Agents podcast alongside Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel, said that if Truss did survive until the next general election, the Conservative Party would become "even more embroiled" in party in-fighting.
