UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, the frontrunner in the Conservative Party leadership race, has claimed there will be no new taxes if she becomes prime minister.

Speaking at the 12th and final leadership hustings held in London, Truss reiterated that her two priorities are to cut taxes and to secure the UK’s energy supply as British households struggle amid soaring energy prices.
