Ms Truss will claim that the UK would be in a better economic position today if Rishi Sunak had continued her policies
She will claim Mr Sunak’s Government has spent £35 billion more than she would have as prime minister, arguing that if the policies included in her growth plan had been followed, growth would have eventually been higher.
“This would have been even greater in the longer term. The 20-year GDP impact is normally three to four times bigger. And we can see from evidence on the ground the impact the policies would have had.” In a letter to the Prime Minister, Shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth criticised reports that up to 14 people “who crashed the economy, who left millions to pay more for their mortgage and who undermined our economic institutions could receive an award”.
Commenting on Ms Truss’s speech, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said: “Liz Truss giving a speech on economic growth is like an arsonist giving a talk on fire safety.
