Truss vows ‘decade of dynamism’ in hint at more tax cuts
Prime Minister Liz Truss vowed to “usher in a decade of dynamism” and Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng said their tax cuts were just the “first step towards igniting growth” as the pair were forced to defend the controversial measures.
Labour called the plans an admission of 12 years of Tory economic failure. But Ms Truss insisted she is “unapologetic” in “focusing relentlessly on economic growth” as she defended her high-risk strategy designed to revive the UK’s stagnant economy. Ms Truss also brushed off suggestions the measures could be fiscally irresponsible. In an interview with CNN to be aired on Sunday but trailed in advance, she was asked about the responsibility of her economic plan.
