that she does not want to give “handouts” to people struggling with bills, preferring to prioritise tax cuts. She repeatedly refused to promise any further help on energy bills on Tuesday, only confirming plans to reverse the recent increase in national insurance, and to temporarily suspend green levies on energy bills.

“We need to be on the side of the self-employed. We need to be on the side of people who work and do the right thing and we need to enable people to keep more of their own money. Those are Conservative principles. The former chancellor said Truss’s plans would not help swaths of the population and said that whoever was prime minister should not rule out direct support. Truss has said she will emphasis tax cuts rather than committing to giving extra direct help with energy bills.

Critics of her policy warn that tax cuts disproportionately help the better off and offer no assistance to pensioners or those not in work, while the green levies contribute only about £150 annually to the average bill.
