Liz Truss has just been announced as the new Prime Minister.

We now have our fourth Conservative Prime Minister over 12 years of Tory Government.  Liz Truss inherits a weak economy, soaring inflation and an energy crisis which has been exacerbated by more than a decade of Tory failure.

In a matter of weeks, the energy price cap will rise by a further 80% and millions of people are terrified about what that will mean for themselves and their families.

The first thing that the new Prime Minister needs to do is to freeze the price cap and ensure that bills do not rise by even a penny this winter.

Labour has a plan that will support people now, and in the future, it’s time the Tories woke up to the crisis people are facing and put much needed support in place.
