Time.news – The priority is cut taxes because this is the only way the economy will grow: this was underlined by Liz Truss, candidate for leadership of the British Tories and Boris Johnson’s succession in Downing Street, answering questions from militants at the party’s fifth meeting, in Darlington, in view of the final election against his opponent Rishi Sunak.
The latter, in the same meeting, instead said he was convinced that the government should allocate an important sum of money to help people pay their energy bills, which have been increasing dramatically in recent times.
Truss, on the other hand, said he did not believe it was okay to withdraw tax money and then return it in the form of aid.
“Our support needs to be targeted and not focus on massive tax cuts for very wealthy people. No, it should help those most in need,” Sunak said.
