Daily Mirror – Now fix the Britain you lot broke
The British public could be excused for being a “tad cynical” after Prime Minister Liz Truss made promises of a “brand new Britain”, the Daily Mirror reports.
Liz Truss finally bowed to pressure and pledged “action this week” to tackle soaring energy prices as she entered No10.
After downpours in Downing Street almost forced her to speak inside, the new Prime Minister said Britain would “ride out the storm”.
Preparing to unveil a plan to ease the cost of living crisis, the Tory leader said after 12 years of her party’s rule: “I will take action this week to deal with energy bills and to secure our future energy supply.” She is expected to outline £90billion of help for families and businesses tomorrow.
Households are being hammered by inflation rampaging at 10.1%, mortgage rates climbing and the energy price cap soon due to rise.
The rise on October 1 looks set to swell an average family’s annual energy bill from £1,971 to £3,549.
