Liz Truss has promised that she will “ride out the storm” and make sure that people will not face unacceptable energy bills.
In her first speech as Prime Minister on Tuesday, Truss dodged a downpour in Whitehall before making her promise to “get Britain working” by spelling out that her priority was to cut taxes.
Truss paid tribute to Boris Johnson as a “hugely consequential” Prime Minister as she prepared to take over as the third Tory Prime Minister since David Cameron resigned over the Brexit referendum result in 2016.
