EMBARGO: Immediate release 

Responding to Liz Truss's BBC interview this morning, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said: 

"The Prime Minister is completely delusional in ignoring the fear and anxiety her botched budget has caused millions of people.

"Liz Truss should have apologised to homeowners facing much higher mortgage bills and savers worried about their pensions, and dropped her dangerous ideas. Instead the Prime Minister’s arrogantly doubled down, proving yet again just how out of touch the Conservatives are.

“Her failure to rule out public spending cuts means our treasured NHS could end up paying the price. Conservative MPs must for once do their patriotic duty and vote down the Prime Minister’s unfunded tax cuts for big banks and billionaires."
