Truss: Inflation is creating a difficult global situation
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says the world is facing a "very difficult situation" because of the "appalling global headwinds" caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Covid.
She warns a windfall tax is "likely to deter investment" and stresses the Chancellor Rishi Sunak is looking "very hard" at what can be done but warns that the government can't "completely cushion" people from the effects of inflation.

Ben Wallace says Liz Truss' plan to cut taxes, which Dominic Raab has dubbed "political suicide", is the "quickest way" to get money into people's pockets and is "the right way" to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. The defence secretary claims neither Rishi Sunak nor the Labour party are "offering a solution" to the "significant rises" in gas and energy bills, which is expected to hit vulnerable households hardest this winter.

Liz Truss says she is focussed on "growing the economy" to encourage investment in UK business and "put more money in people's pockets" to help tackle the cost-of-living crisis. The Tory leadership candidate says she will not reveal her September budget, but that her plans include introducing a temporary moratorium on the energy levy and reversing the national insurance rise.

Conservative MP Paul Scully says Liz Truss' plan to cut taxes and reform energy bills will "deliver direct support" to those who need it, including pensioners and those on the national living wage. Scully adds Dominic Raab's claim that Liz Truss' economic plan is "electoral suicide" will "only help the Labour party".

Conservative MP Mark Harper says Tory leadership candidate Liz Truss' cost-of living-plan "is not up to the task", and would "give a lot to the highest paid, nothing to pensioners and little to those working full-time on the national living wage. Harper adds that failure to support the most vulnerable households "during a very difficult winter" would be "incredibly electorally damaging".
