Britain’s new prime minister has promised a “bold plan” to cut taxes and said it will address rising energy prices that are causing a cost-of-living crisis in the country.
But Liz Truss did not elaborate on what the plans will involve. Over the course of her campaign, her critics, including opponent Rishi Sunak, have pressed her to detail her next steps, with families facing another rise in costs next month.
“I will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy,” Truss said. “I’m going to dwell on the energy crisis, dealing with people’s energy bills.”
Praise for Boris Johnson
Truss began his victory speech by congratulating his opponent, Rishi Sunak, who came closer than many expected in the final vote.
She then paid a warm tribute to Boris Johnson, whom she will replace as prime minister on Tuesday, after months of scandal forced him to step down.
“Boris: you got Brexit, crushed Jeremy Corbyn, launched the vaccine and stood up to Vladimir Putin,” Truss said. “You are admired from Kiev to Carlisle”.
“I know our beliefs resonate with the British people,” she told the crowd of Conservative members. “I campaigned as a Conservative and I will govern as a Conservative.”
