Truss promises bold action to tackle the flagging economy and help people, businesses with energy prices to ‘get through this winter’

British foreign minister Liz Truss said on Sunday she would set out immediate action in her first week in power to tackle rising energy bills and increase energy supplies if she is, as expected, appointed prime minister.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, she said she understood how challenging the cost of living crisis was for Britons and she would take “decisive action to ensure families and businesses can get through this winter and the next”. The Sunday Times newspaper cited insiders at the finance ministry as saying the cost of Truss’s plan would easily exceed 100 billion pounds , most of which would be added to government borrowing.

In the Telegraph, she said her approach would be twofold – immediate action to tackle the cost of living crisis and a plan to deliver economic growth. She would also appoint a Council of Economic Advisers to get “the best ideas” for the economy. After weeks of mud-slinging in an often bad-tempered leadership contest, Monday will make the beginning of a transfer of power from Johnson, who was ousted as leader after months of scandal drained his party’s support for him.
