I've just heard that Boris Johnson has launched a new campaign called 'White Lies Matter." 

On Tuesday night in Darlington, Liz Truss, who wants to be the next UK Prime Minister, declared that she would vote to end any Parliamentary investigation into whether Boris Johnson lied to Parliament over 'Partygate'. 

Truss, a free market ideologue, has repeatedly said that she was opposed to giving out handouts to families struggling with Britain's unprecedented cost of living crisis. She's now being accused of doing a U-turn, by refusing to rule out cash payments to help with energy costs. 

Critics say that her plan to cut taxes by £38bn will fuel inflation, increase borrowing, and drive interest rates up to 7%. They also point out that it will be people on high incomes who are most likely to benefit from her cut to taxes and National Insurance (N.I.). A person working full-time and being paid the National Living Wage, will be £57 better off because of her cuts to N.I.
