CONSERVATIVE leadership contender Liz Truss says “we need to be bold” to get through the current economic crisis.
The front-runner to succeed Boris Johnson as Prime Minister is also confident that Britain has the chance to become the most prosperous country in Europe. And the Foreign Secretary has pledged to listen to the voices of ordinary people if she wins the keys to Downing St with the unequivocal message: “I’m on your side.”
Ms Truss has won the endorsement of the Sunday Express and today describes how she plans to help families get through the cost-of-living crisis this winter and details her ambitions for a stronger Britain.
She said: “Times are tough and I share your concerns. I am running in this contest because I believe I have the vision and ability to help families in every part of the UK.
“I will work every day as Prime Minister to make sure you can keep more of your hard-earned money, that your children have the best chance to fulfil their potential no matter where they are from, and that our borders and values are secure.
“I understand that people are worried about paying bills and making ends meet but I have a plan to ignite growth, boost wages and get our economy growing again – to grow the size of the pie so we can all have a slice.”
Ms Truss will face one of the most daunting in-trays of a PM in recent decades if she makes it to No 10, but she argues that people can look to the future with hope.
