Liz Truss has lashed out at Rishi Sunak’s record on taxation - and promised to hold an emergency budget that pushes through immediate tax cuts in response to the cost of living crisis if she's elected PM.
Tensions between the pair are rising, and Truss last night hit out at her rival’s record in his former role as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Truss said the Government has been ‘going in the wrong direction on tax, with the tax burden at its highest in 70 years’. ‘I will move to bring in an emergency budget to get on with doing this quickly, and announce a spending review to find more efficiencies in government spending.’
