Today’s news of the latest increase in the annual rate of inflation to 9.4% justifies fully my economic measures of targeted tax cuts which are non-inflationary and help people through this cost of living crisis.

Of the three candidates left in this race I am prepared to take action with timely and targeted fiscal measures that are necessary, non-inflationary and affordable.

We need to act now, and not sit on our hands by proclaiming we have done enough, during the height of this crisis, and come this autumn, to help people pay their bills.

I am a low tax Conservative but as you have seen I have sought to retain the Party’s reputation for sound money, which could be lost easily, by not participating in an uncovered Dutch auction of tax cuts, which while sounding nice, are not credible.

That isn’t how serious economic policy should be conducted.
