Imran Khan lands in hot soup once again, leaked audio of a vulgar call invites hate; PTI claims it's fake

In a leaked audio tape made public on Tuesday, UK Conservative Liz Truss, the favourite to become the next British prime minister, said Britons needed to put in more effort because they lacked "skill and application."

The unfortunate leak comes as polls consistently show that Truss is decisively ahead of Rishi Sunak in the campaign to succeed Boris Johnson as prime minister early next month.

AFP reports that&nbsp;the two-minute audio tape, was recorded between 2017 and 2019, when Truss was a senior minister in the finance ministry.&nbsp;In it she claimed that part of the reason for the UK's comparatively low productivity was down to employees' "mindset and attitude."

In the recording obtained by the Guardian newspaper, she said "It's working culture basically," adding that British workers needed "more graft."

"If you go to China it's quite different, I can assure you," she said, adding&nbsp;"there's a fundamental issue of British working culture... I don't think people are that keen to change."

In the leaked recording, Truss—who supported staying in the European Union during the contentious 2016 referendum before switching to support Brexit—also seemed to imply that the bloc and migration are unfairly criticised.

"We say it's all Europe that's causing all these problems. It's all, 'it's migrants that's causing problems...But actually what needs to happen is, you know, a bit more graft," she said, with a laugh, before adding "it's not a popular message".

The inflammatory statements made by Truss are an echo of the contentious claims made in "Britannia Unchained," a book she co-authored in 2012 and in which British employees were referred to as some of the "worst idlers in the world."

When questioned about the book at a leadership contest last month, Truss had claimed that co-author and supporter of Sunak Dominic Raab, who is presently the justice minister, had written the controversial arguments.

Raab later claimed that the book's authors, which comprised a number of other prominent Conservative ministers, had accepted "collective responsibility" for the information included in it.

As per AFP, the leaked remarks were described as "half a decade old" and "lacking context" by a Truss campaign source, who also acknowledged that Britain does "need&nbsp;to boost productivity."

The insider continued, "As prime minister,&nbsp;&nbsp;Liz will deliver an economy that is high wage, high growth and low tax."

PM hopeful Liz Truss calls UK employees 'lazy' in a controversial leaked audio. Here's what she said

A purported audio clip of the wife of Pakistan’s ex-prime minister Imran Khan hit social media where she can be heard giving instructions to her party PTI’s social media wing to spread the ‘narrative of treason' against those who oppose&nbsp;Khan.

In over a two-minute-long audio clip, the former first lady, Bushra Bibi, purportedly expressed her disappointment with Arsalan Khalid, the head of&nbsp;Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI)&nbsp; social media wing, for remaining inactive.

Before he could explain, Bibi asked Khalid to build a narrative against party dissidents by linking them to 'foreign conspiracies' against Imran Khan.

"Aleem Khan and other such people would say things about me, Imran Khan and my friend Farah Khan," she said, asking Dr Arsalan to link all such people to "treason", according to Express Tribune newspaper.

In the purported audio, Bibi then says the party's social media will have to take up the issue of the government not buying oil from Russia. "Now you have to ensure that this issue does not die down," she said.

Bushra Bibi is the third wife of Imran Khan. Both got married in 2018, six months before he became the prime minister. She had been Khan's spiritual guide for long. Also known as Pinky Peerni, Bibi has been projected to be a private person, far from Pakistan's politics. But Bibi has often been accused of running the affairs of the party from the back.

This is not the first time an audio clip surfaced on social media involving Bushra Bibi.

Earlier this month, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders played an audio tape — purportedly a conversation between the Bahria&nbsp;Town chief and his daughter – revealing how Farah&nbsp;Gogi "demanded a gift" for former first lady Bushra Bibi.
