Sky News: Reports " Liz Truss to set out plan to help households and businesses with soaring energy costs....reported to cost up to £150bn. "
Lets Get Real:
PM Truss is going BIG, she knows that this decision on a cap on energy prices will either lift her in the polls, ready for the 2024 general election or it will sink her. The freeze of gas prices should go down well with the voters, and help for business will save jobs. Also inflation will go down. The cost of the scheme, will be paid by future generations, life is tough, but then in the decades ahead, most of us will be pushing up the daises, thus not our problem. The Labour Party will find it hard to argue that the scheme is WRONG, the Truss Government is nicking their idea, that is the problem with Opposition, you might come up with a good idea, then the Government takes it on and their idea. The Labour Party wants a windfall tax, Truss has said a CLEAR NO, this is against Conservative theory, the Chancellor Sunak has already taxed the companies with a windfall tax, this was opposed by Truss in her leadership contest with Sunak. The polls will be interesting, one would think that the Conservatives would narrow the lead with Labour, also the tax cuts should also gain support. Thus far so good for Truss.
