Michael Gove today signalled he could revolt over Liz Truss's “wrong” plans to cut tax for the rich - and benefits for the poor.
The top Tory demanded a “course correction, a reset” over scrapping the 45p Income Tax rate - which “will benefit millionaires but not ordinary working people”.
"It's going to be very, very, very difficult to argue that it’s right to reduce welfare when we're also reducing taxes for the wealthiest,” he added, after Liz Truss refused repeatedly to rule out a real-terms benefits cut.
