POLITICS changed three weeks ago when Liz Truss was elected as the new leader of the Tory Party and Prime Minister — and not for the better. That much is evident in her budget unashamedly for the rich.
Her agenda is openly hostile to working people and those most in need. Not since George Osborne introduced his budget of austerity in 2015 have the Tories so clearly shown how they know the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Today the legacy of a decade of Tory cuts can be seen across our country. The only area of growth today is poverty — the government and its policies are creating more poor people by the day.
