Conservative leadership contender Liz Truss' living costs plan won't touch sides, rival Rishi Sunak says
Ms Truss has pledged a package of tax cuts worth £30bn, which Mr Sunak has argued would increase inflation and only save lower earners £59 a year.: "We need clear-eyed realism, not starry-eyed boosterism."
He said he would not pre-judge what would be in an emergency budget, which has been promised by Ms Truss if she became prime minister. Low taxes and a smaller state are popular with many Conservative members, who are choosing the next prime minister. But Ms Truss's critics say her comments failed to acknowledge the extent of the problems many will face this winter.
