Allies of Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss clashed on Tuesday over the best way to tackle the cost of living crisis, as the two Tory leadership contenders prepared for their first hustings event with party members in the ‘Red Wall’.
Minister for London Paul Scully, a supporter of Ms Truss, accused Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, who is backing Mr Sunak, of going “OTT” after he used an article in The Times to claim that the Foreign Secretary’s plan to prioritise tax cuts would be “electoral suicide”.
