Liz Truss has been accused of leaving it to working people to pick up the tab for the cost of living crisis.
The new Tory leader came under pressure to spell out who will pay for the multi billion pound emergency bail out to keep the lights on in people’s homes this winter.
Labour leader Keir Starmer and the SNP’s Ian Blackford cornered Truss in her first Commons appearance as Prime Minister with demands that she impose a windfall tax on the massive profits bring made by energy companies. Starmer accused Truss of protecting the profits of Shell and giving Amazon a tax break rather than helping families when she unveils a package to freeze domestic bills later this week.
