Lord Spencer, a former Conservative Party treasurer whose wealth is estimated at £1.2 billion, told LBC’s Nick Ferrari that Liz Truss’s performance at her first Prime Ministers Questions was particularly impressive given her clear and open refusal to levy an additional tax on the large profits being generated by energy firms.
