Liz Truss insists the EU is threatening a trade war

Among 38 published invoices there were no new measures to help immediately in the crisis, leading to a wave of criticism from the think tanks of all political leanings, opposition party leaders and Mr Johnson MPs.

David Davis, a former Brexit secretary, said: “The King’s speech is built on sand if it is not backed by strong economic foundations.

“Taxes are too high today. So we need to do some basics. High taxes do not guarantee growth, but stifle it. “

John Redwood, a former Welsh secretary, said that with rising heating and fuel bills, we should “at least return that money with other taxes”.

Robert Jenrick, a former housing minister, said it was “clear that taxes on employees are too high. Sir Roger Gale, a Tory MP for North Thanet, called for” urgent action now “.

Former Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May has also raised the cost of living, saying: “In such a time, conservative principles of sound public finances and sound economic governance are needed more than ever.”

Downing Street and the Treasury Department have also rejected calls for an emergency budget, meaning no new tax cuts are expected before the fall – a constant demand from Conservative MPs.

There was no law in the Queen’s speech dealing with the Northern Ireland Protocol.

However, he said: “The continued success and integrity of the whole of the United Kingdom is of paramount importance to my government, including the internal economic ties between all its parts.”

Mrs Truss’s criticisms of the EU’s proposals for resolving the protocol are the last public sign that the government could be close to unilateral action to repeal the agreement.

The Prime Minister took advantage of the call s Micheal Martinthe Irish Taoiseach, said Monday night that the situation regarding the protocol is now “very serious”.
