Treasury Minister Emma Reynolds struggled during a radio interview about road funding. She went on LBC to talk about money for the Lower Thames Crossing project. The minister could not remember basic facts about the new road between Essex and Kent. Host Nick Ferrari asked her simple questions about where the crossing would start and finish.
Reynolds stumbled through her answers and admitted she forgot the exact locations. She mixed up the Dartford tunnel with Dartmouth in Devon during the chat. Ferrari pressed her harder when she could not give clear responses about the geography. The veteran presenter called out Reynolds for not knowing key details about her department's project.
Money matters confused Reynolds just as much as the map locations did. She described the cost as several billion pounds without giving exact numbers. Ferrari reminded her the actual price tag reaches 10 billion pounds for the massive road project. Reynolds tried to change topics and talk about other infrastructure plans instead. The awkward interview showed how unprepared she was to discuss major government spending.
