Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak on Thursday stepped up their campaigns to be the next Prime Minister as they laid out their rival visions for Britain.
Foreign Secretary Ms Truss put herself forward as the Tory who can save the UK from recession by “bulldozing” through bold measures including immediate tax cuts and reforms to boost economic growth. She told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “People are struggling with the cost of living. It’s wrong to be increasing their taxes at the time.”
