Prospective PM fails to set out details of her plan, but says ‘sticking plasters will not do’
Liz Truss has promised to urgently tackle the energy cost crisis if she becomes prime minister this week, in a final leadership pitch that again emphasised her focus on tax cuts and fewer regulations.
The foreign secretary, who is almost universally predicted to beat Rishi Sunak in the Conservative contest, the result of which is announced on Monday lunchtime, pledged “immediate action” over energy prices for households and businesses, while again not setting out what this might involve.
