Liz Truss pledges to 'immediately' reverse NI hike in emergency budget as Tory leadership hopefuls clash

The foreign secretary told reporters during a campaign visit to the West Midlands on Saturday:"Under the plans at present, what we know is Britain is headed for a recession."That is not inevitable, but we need to avoid that by making sure our economy is competitive, that we're encouraging businesses to grow and that we are keeping taxes low.

Asked how she intended to help households facing spiralling energy bills this winter, she insisted the answer was tax cuts and supply-side reforms. He added:"The existing package that previous chancellor Rishi Sunak put in place had more conscious targeting towards poorer households and I think it's pretty clear that any fiscal manoeuvre we have at the moment should be primarily directed towards them rather than more broadly."Ms Truss has taken a seven-point lead as best prime minister against Mr Sunak and a 26-point lead among 2019 Conservative voters .

A third of all voters think the government should keep taxes and spending on public services about where they are now, while 26% think there should be an increase in both.Ms Truss has declined to say whether her campaign was involved in the leaking of a video in which Mr Sunak spoke about working to divert funding from deprived urban areas towards more prosperous towns.

Slytherin votes for new Head Girl…

The porn industry's loss is Portsmouth's gain I suppose. Keep on Torying.

More lies and nonsense about tax to perpetuate the lies and nonsense Johnson lived on. What will she do about NHS waiting lists?

adding 'her tax cuts are funded'

Liz Truss can’t even find her way out of a meeting room, never mind fix our broken economy… the one she helped to break in the first place!

I still find it peculiar how a few weeks ago they were having a right dust up about each other’s lack of substance and experience, and now she’s right behind her. Anyone would think it was all incredibly fake and self serving….

If I am nice to her she’ll give me a nice ministers position.

We understand the nation is at an inflection point but the last thing the nation needs is to change, or hold accountable, the governing party of the last 12 years. The current ruling party cannot be held responsible for the failures of the current ruling party.
