Picture: AlamyLiz Truss has insisted her growth plan will succeed while Opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer calls on Tory rebels to work with Labour for "economic sanity".The Prime Minister declared that only her plan to transform Britain into a low tax, high growth economy would reverse the "current trajectory of managed decline".
But Ms Truss said "tough decisions" needed to be made to get the country back on track, insisting that the public is more concerned with jobs and education than "what the polls were last year".However, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Ms Truss and Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's "disastrous ideology" would inflict pain on the whole country.Read more:
"Neither the country nor Parliament has had any say on these measures. That is unacceptable," Sir Keir said in the same paper."Mortgages, pensions and family finances are not casino chips for a Government intoxicated by dogma. The turmoil erupted after markets took fright at Mr Kwarteng's £45 billion package of unfunded tax cuts - the biggest in 50 years - while committing billions to capping energy bills for the next two years.
