Brits will end up “on the streets” this winter if Liz Truss does not offer more cash help for the poorest, a Tory MP warned today.
Rishi Sunak supporter Kevin Hollinrake launched the most devastating verdict yet on the likely Prime Minister’s £50bn of “magic money tree” tax cuts.
After 12 years of Tory government, the MP told Sky News: “These people are going to be, you know, on the streets.
“Things are going to be that bad for some households. You’ve got to provide that targeted package of support.”
It came as Mr Sunak warned Ms Truss must choose between her “dangerous” tax cuts and immediate cost-of-living help this winter in a blistering new attack.
Mr Sunak said to do both “would mean increasing borrowing to historic and dangerous levels, putting the public finances in serious jeopardy and plunging the economy into an inflation spiral.”
And he slammed revelations that Ms Truss will not ask the independent Office for Budget Responsibility to audit her emergency Budget.
