Liz Truss finally bowed to pressure and pledged “action this week” to tackle soaring energy prices as she entered No10.
After downpours in Downing Street almost forced her to speak inside, the new Prime Minister said Britain would “ride out the storm”.
Preparing to unveil a plan to ease the cost of living crisis, the Tory leader said after 12 years of her party’s rule: “I will take action this week to deal with energy bills and to secure our future energy supply.” She is expected to outline £90billion of help for families and businesses tomorrow.
