Labour has called for Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng to hand back the redundancy payments they are due for their time in Downing Street, saying it would be “abhorrent” if they kept them.
Truss and Kwarteng are due to receive thousands in severance pay after their calamitous mini-budget and growing unpopularity in the Conservative party forced them from office. The former prime minister sacked her chancellor shortly before her own resignation in a last-ditch effort to save her skin.
