FORMER prime minister Liz Truss was met by sweeping queues at the Tory party conference as she called for ministers to “make Britain grow again” with a raft of tax cuts.and losing the support of MPs, Truss rallied the still supportive Tory membership at the fringes of the conference in Manchester.
Taran Hare, a Tory member from Leeds, echoed Kent’s claims, saying: “I support the ideas but I don’t like how drastic it was. The sudden change at the mini budget was not conservative. But she has the core values at heart.” On Prime Minister Sunak, she said: “If you had asked me last week whether I liked him I would have said no. But I have seen a big improvement and I am prepared to give him a chance.”Truss said 500,000 homes a year need to be built, suggesting environmental protections could be torn up to encourage building, and called for ministers to permit fracking.
Rees-Mogg continued the tax-cutting, deregulating motif, also calling for tariffs and checks to be slashed to boost trade.“I’ve eaten beef in Australia, it was absolutely delicious, there’s nothing wrong with it and they should be allowed to export it here because we want lower costs.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
