I like the fact Truss went to a poor school in a multi cultural area so will have more understanding than a rich p rick whose family aim is to get richer! One of the huge negatives about the Tory party - it’s seen to help those who are rich and part of the boys club!
Whilst not in financial dire straights as many are, my own situation is worrying as we have no buffer and pretty much what comes in goes out with no spare for holidays etc so the looming increases in energy costs in October are a concern so I understand why tax cuts are appealing! However, I'm not sure how these would be funded without further borrowing which will make the hole bigger?

The country needs levelling up but cannot see any Conservative government giving financial assistance to the poorer paid at the expense of the rich.

I get why Truss's background will sit better than Sunak's but just question her experience/ability to manage the economy better

Hope you don't bump into Robus, but am sure you will give him an appropriate "welcome" if you do!😀
