Ms Truss also ruled out a new windfall tax on energy companies making huge profits as a result of the historic rise in gas prices. And he promised there would be no French energy bill this winter, when average domestic fuel prices are set to rise to £3,459 a year. Her pledges come as experts warn the government faces the need for tens of billions in support to help households and businesses keep warm this winter. If she is elected as Boris Johnson’s successor, as expected, on Monday, her promises risk significantly limiting her room to maneuver as she prepares a response to warnings of impoverishment for families and the closure of small businesses if support is not provided. Mrs Truss’s leadership rival Rishi Sunak made it clear he was prepared to impose an additional windfall tax on the energy giants, insisting it was “absolutely right” at a time when companies are “making billions in profits because of the war”. And he said that as Prime Minister he would not rule out an energy bill of the kind being considered by France’s Emmanuel Macron. “We shouldn’t rule anything out,” Mr Sunak said. “The challenges we face with this crisis are significant. Many European countries are looking at how we can all optimize our energy use, it makes sense as a country.” The energy crisis came to the fore in the latest developments in the campaign to choose Mr Johnson’s replacement, with a small businessman in the audience of 6,000 Tory members at Wembley demanding to know what help he would be offered to help him pay the astronomical sum. accounts. Ms Truss said immediate support for households would be her “third priority” to tackle the energy crisis, after tax cuts and moves to boost security of supply. She said she would “definitely want to take action on business energy costs” but refused to detail her plans ahead of the emergency budget she has promised soon after she joins No 10. “In a budget case, the chancellor will deal with the issue of supporting households,” Ms Truss said. Asked if this could include cutting VAT from 20% to 15% as reported, she told LBC radio host Nick Ferrari: “I’m not judging things in or out. I’m not sitting here to write a future budget or fiscal event ». And questioned whether she could deliver on Mr Johnson’s 2019 pledge of “no new taxes”, she replied without hesitation: “Yes. No new taxes.” Mr Sunak, who described himself as an “outsider” in a video introducing himself on stage, renewed his attack on Ms Truss’ plans for tax cuts, which he believes will fuel soaring inflation. And supporter Michael Gove went on the attack, describing inflation as “the thief in the night that steals savings and impoverishes everyone”. In a jab apparently aimed at Ms Truss’s insistence that she could safely cut taxes at a time of soaring prices, Mr Gove said: “Rishi, throughout the government, throughout during this campaign, all the years I’ve known him. , he always told the truth. He is a leader we can all trust.” The former chancellor paid tribute to his parents, who were in the audience, for making sacrifices to give their children a better life. And – in what has become a ceremonial reference to his short stature – he thanked his wife Akshata for “giving up the heels and taking a chance on the short kid with the backpack”. Despite the poll suggesting he is trailing Ms Truss by a significant margin among the roughly 160,000 Tory members voting for the leadership, Mr Sunak received a warm welcome from the Wembley crowd, with constant chants of ‘Rishi! Rishi!” He paid tribute to Mr Johnson, thanking him profusely for his service, in an apparent attempt to play down accusations from grassroots Tories that he had betrayed the Prime Minister by resigning as chancellor. But he heard a veiled demeanor in Johnson’s demeanor in office, promising: “I will lead a government that is run with competence, that is run with seriousness and with decency and integrity at the heart of everything we do. This is the change I will bring.” Unlike Ms Truss, he pledged to appoint an independent ethics adviser to No 10. And he tried to build bridges with Mrs Truss after their brutal blue-for-blue exchanges during the six-week campaign. In what was immediately interpreted as a sign that he is ready to take a job in a Truss administration, he said: “I agree with Liz on a lot more than we disagree – and I don’t just mean our shared love of Whitney Houston. and Taylor Swift. When that is done, we will unite.” Ms Truss won a standing ovation as she promised to run a “shamelessly pro-business” government and take on “identity politics”, saying she did not believe a transgender woman was a woman. He also said he would scrap the smart highways experiment, which he said “didn’t work.” And he agreed to “look into” a suggestion by a member of the public to make the 70mph speed limit on motorways advisory rather than mandatory. After causing a diplomatic row by saying in an earlier row that “the jury is out” on whether Macron is “friend or foe”, Ms Truss dodged the same question about Donald Trump. And she declined to say whether she would accept an invitation to a cocktail party with Trump or former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, saying that if she were in the US her priority would be to speak with President Joe Biden.
