The Debate on Tax Cuts and Bans: A Political Narrative of Decline

Former Prime Minister Liz Truss, speaking at the Conservative Party conference, called for corporation tax cuts, the embrace of fracking, and the construction of 500,000 new homes in England annually. Truss criticized politicians for prioritizing environmental concerns over easing regulations for building. Her speech received a warm reception from the Tory faithful, including former cabinet ministers and Nigel Farage. Truss defended her previous decisions and clashed with her successor Rishi Sunak on the need for immediate tax cuts. She urged the audience to "unleash their inner Conservative" and emphasized the importance of building and making things to stimulate growth in Britain.
