Liz Truss today vows to beat Labour by 'governing as a true tax-cutting, freedom-loving Conservative'.
The Foreign Secretary last night surged into the final run-off against Rishi Sunak in the race to become prime minister, knocking out rival Penny Mordaunt.
Writing in the Daily Mail today, Miss Truss sets out an agenda that will see her pursuing Boris Johnson's freedom-loving instincts while reversing Mr Sunak's high-tax agenda.
In an attack on the former chancellor's record, she says the Government has been 'going in the wrong direction on tax, with the tax burden at its highest in 70 years'.
She pledges to hold an emergency budget to push through immediate tax cuts to ease the cost of living and encourage enterprise.
'We cannot have business-as-usual managerialism on the economy,' she writes.
'I am the tax-cutting candidate who will help squeezed families by reversing April's national insurance rise and suspending the green levy on energy bills.'
Miss Truss also promises to take on the 'Whitehall Blob' to drive through 'tax-cutting, enterprise boosting, business-friendly Conservative policy'. And she signals that she will take on the Left in the 'culture wars'.
'The British people can trust me to govern as a Conservative,' she writes

[Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt were both committed Brexiters in the 2016 referendum campaign – and both took career risks to support leaving the EU, against the wishes of the then-Prime Minister David Cameron. By contrast Liz Truss campaigned enthusiastically to stay in the EU (see for example the below forceful speech to the 2016 Food and Drink Industry dinner where she makes a powerful industrial case for staying in the EU). ]
As Jimmy Failla would say, “she’s lyin’ her ass off”.
Wow, the rebellion in what Putin call's the "Golden Billion" is spreading like wildfire. Of course managerialism is at the heart of all of our ills, but for someone to make a public policy statement about it is mind-blowing. It's like dropping a nuke on the western world from space.
I am astonished at how the place is coming apart.
That is a problem but it doesn’t appear to be hurting her.
She doesn’t want to re-join the EU or anything.
I think the voters are looking beyond Brexit now.
Tax cuts and ditching the insane green levy on energy bills would be a good start.
OMG, I hope and pray that she can pull it off...
Do you know who she is? Take Hillary and divide the IQ by half.
Being of Indian origin and with in-laws who founded the Indian outsourcing giant Infosys, it’s certainly possible Rishi might sabotage any aid to Ukraine, in keeping with the Indian policy of lending a helping hand, on the down low, to Russia.
[Do you know who she is? Take Hillary and divide the IQ by half.]
Excuse me, but is she or isn’t she the MOST LIKE OUR AMERICAN CONSERVATIVES?????
NOBODY ELSE IN THIS WORLD ...is like Hillary.
What’s wrong with her?
He would be a disaster this is why Liz will likely win it.
“Anyone but him”.
Rishi not very popular due to the tax hikes and RINO-like policies...
They have 6 weeks to make their case .
I don’t say that the other is better. Not to mention that ‘the Russian war effort’ is the least of UK’s pressing issues. Regarding war issue, Truss is a person Russians won’t even talk with.
She is a dim-wit idiot cosplaying Thatcher. If optics like that make younthnkbsue is an American conservatives be then I know what is wrong with the American conservatives. They vote for wrong people.
You know what...it appears the UK has NOT ONE PERSON WHO IS INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO TAKE JOHNSON’S PLACE.
Now, how pathetic is that?
You know what else...I used to love the Brits...now, I don’t care.
Is she the new Margaret Thatcher?
Survey says, “No.”
Maybe
lol. If you think Bozo was a genius....
If someone wants my vote, I suggest they not get cutesy and
use the word manifesto in their outreach.
That’s a charged word for me, and it was not used in ways I
want to be associated with today.
