Liz Truss pledges to 'deliver, deliver, deliver' as she succeeds Boris Johnson as Prime Minister
Liz Truss has pledged to "deliver" on the energy crisis, as Tory members chose her to succeed Boris Johnson as Prime Minister.
Ms Truss is widely expected to introduce an energy bills freeze in some form, with the package potentially on the scale of the furlough scheme introduced by then-chancellor Mr Sunak when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. “This is why it will take a week to sort out the precise plans and make sure we are able to announce them. That is why I cannot go into details at this stage. It would be wrong.”It comes as Kwasi Kwarteng, widely tipped to be the next chancellor if Ms Truss is successful on Monday, used an article in the Financial Times to stress that the next Government will behave in a “fiscally responsible” way.
He said the UK does not need “excessive fiscal tightening”, pointing to the UK’s ratio of debt to GDP compared with other major economies.
