āWhile Liz Truss has many qualities, her plans now comprise of Ā£60ābillion of unfunded spending ā and her message of reassurance about the associated inflationary risk is uncomfortably reminiscent of the missteps of the Ted Heath governmentā.

Sir Keir is on holiday. I have no problem with that at all.
But why, from the sun lounger, put out a press release attacking the PMā¦for being on holiday?
Britain is facing the worst cost of living crisis in a generation.
Has anyone seen the government? š§

We welcomed @GregHands yesterday offering the opportunity to hear from Black Country businesses, visiting @robinsonbro_ltd and Kew Technology.
Alongside @andy4wm @WestMids_CA @mikejwood we launched the West Midlands Industrial Energy Taskforce - details on this to follow soon!
ā
I am the Energy Minister and the report is mainly aboutā¦energy.
ā
I joined the Government in 2011. I donāt feel very ājuniorā.
Bit odd to have a junior minister from the Business department responding to the news on TV rather than the Chancellor
The government is providing direct support to millions of people to help them with their energy bills this winter.

Great call today with Czech šØšæ Energy Minister @JozefSikela.
Our third such meeting in 2022 and great to catch up on:
ā
the work of the Czech EU Presidency in the vital area of energy.
ā
action to support Ukraine šŗš¦ .
ā
European energy security .
ā
new nuclear in šØšæ
Yesterday I visited KEW Projects in West Brom who have received a share of £5m government funding for H2BECCS tech, producing hydrogen from biomass, while capturing CO2.
These funds will help develop this new technology in the UK, boosting green jobs and encouraging investment.
We know that this is a worrying time, with the pressure of rising costs.
That's why we're providing £37 billion of help for households.
This includes £400 off energy bills this winter and £1,200 of direct support for the most vulnerable.

When I first started as Chancellor I put up a photo of Nigel Lawson in my office.
Now he's endorsing me to be Prime Minister and I couldnāt be more grateful.

Very heavyweight endorsement for Rishi from Nigel Lawson himself:
Rishi Sunak is the only candidate who understands Thatcherite economics

Maggie was right. So was Nigel Lawson (greatest tax cutter ever). Tens of billions in unfunded tax cuts fuelling inflation will cost us the next election. We CAN get taxes down but must be delivered responsibly. Time for ā¦@RishiSunakā© #Ready4Rishi https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08/03/rishi-sunak-candidate-who-understands-thatcherite-economics/

āThe country will not forgive our great party if we forget the importance of sound money and let inflation run rampantā
Heās right. #Ready4Rishi

A thread on regional pay:
Cutting public sector pay outside London is a bad idea
In places like Suffolk, itās hard enough to recruit nurses, teachers & police without cutting their pay compared to London.
This is levelling DOWN not levelling UP.

The best candidate to beat Labour is @RishiSunak
Heās also the best candidate to manage the economy in choppy waters.
