Truss rules out further help to those on low incomes!

 

The Bookies Favourite - Liz Truss

"Britannia Unchained", free-market ideologue, Liz Truss, has ruled out giving any further help to low income British families this winter, as they struggle with Britain's unprecedented cost of living crisis. She's says that her £30 billion tax cuts, which will mainly benefit those on high incomes, will revitalise the UK economy. Her critics say that it will fuel inflation, lead to increased borrowing, and drive interest rates up to 7%. 

Truss says that if she becomes the next Prime Minister of the UK, she will reverse the increase in National Insurance contributions, which will give someone working full-time for the National Living Wage, £57. 

As a member of the free enterprise group of Conservatives, Truss was one of the authors of the book "Britannia Unchained". In their book, they described British worker's as being feckless and  "Among the worst idlers in the world." The free enterprise group of Conservatives are seen as the mouthpiece of the free-market think tank, the Institute of Economic Affairs(IEA), in Parliament. The neoliberal IEA, does not disclose the source of its funding. 

The former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sajid Javid, has described Truss as the best thing since Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Other Conservatives, like the respected author and journalist, Peter Oborne, believe that Liz Truss, is "horrifically out of her depth" and will be disastrous as a Prime Minister.
