Liz Truss promises 'decisive action' in the face of soaring energy bills - but does not commit to additional payments
Liz Truss has pledged 'immediate support' to ease the impact of spiraling energy bills as the Tory leadership race enters its home stretch.
But Truss - who previously insisted she was focusing on cutting taxes, rather than "handing out handouts" - has yet to commit to additional direct payments.
This comes while Ofgem confirmed an 80% increase in the energy price cap - sending the average household's annual bill from £1,971 to £3,549 from October.
