A former Tory Treasury Minister has torn into Liz Truss for pushing "endless crazy tax cuts" and branded her U-turn on regional pay "laughable".
Lord O'Neill, who worked in the Treasury under George Osborne, gave a scathing verdict on the Tory leadership candidate's disastrous plan to pay public sector workers less in poorer areas.
Ms Truss claimed her plans had been been "misrepresented" - despite detailing them in a press release to journalists - but said she wouldn't be pressing ahead with the plan for regional pay boards.
