Liz Truss rejects aid for anyone facing rising energy bills as she considers further tax cuts

Liz Truss has refused to help everyone deal with soaring winter energy bills and is instead considering further tax cuts if she hits 10th place, according to her allies.

The Tory management favorite is under intense pressure to end her silence on the support she will provide for the cost of living emergency, but she revealed options are still on the table.

They include a 5% reduction in VAT and the reversal of the decision to freeze income tax thresholds until 2026, which will cause millions more people to pay taxes at a rate higher.
