Web of Lies? Now Liz Truss sets her sights on splitting up the internet

"Can we have a third internet where we don’t have to listen to a word Liz Truss says?," wrote one person in response.

Foreign Secretary Ms Truss has pledged to “start cutting taxes from day one” with a new budget and spending review that would reverse April’s rise in national insurance and next year’s corporation tax hike from 19% to 25%.

In contrast, Mr Sunak has pitched himself as the fiscally conservative candidate who will “deliver tax cuts that drive growth” in a “responsible” way.

The former chancellor has claimed his rival to become the next prime minister would further drive up interest rates, raising mortgage payments, with her plans.

But Ms Truss countered by saying “we cannot tax our way to growth” and insisting her plans would not drive up prices further.

Internet

Tax aside what does Truss think about the internet?

Back in 2019 the Labour Party “wants to nationalise the internet”, claimed Liz Truss.

The then Chief Secretary to the Treasury said Jeremy Corbyn’s party “wants to run” the internet and “will be deciding the messages” should Labour win power at the next election.

Two-track

Truss was asked about online harms bill suggests two-track internet – one for teens and one that protects adult free speech. She says she’s worried about what her teen daughters see but adults should have free speech.

It appears that Truss does like an emoji.

Having spent 18 months shadowing Liz Truss, the idea of her not realising what she’s signed up to is not exactly novel: the freeports fiasco, the shipbuilding blunder, the list goes on. After all, this is the minister who writes TL;DR with dead eye emojis on policy submissions….

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
