Baring a miracle Liz Truss is set to be our next PM while the nation faces an unprecedented cost of living crisis, driven by huge rises in the price of energy. She has offered no solution save promising to cut the recent rise in NI and the green energy levy. /1 This won't help the poorest as they don't pay NI. It won't help keep inflation under control, now likely to rise to 18% next year, nor will it quell wage demands and strikes. She has nothing to offer the poorest but a choice between warmth whilst hungry food or cold but fed. /2
