【Battle of the Party Leaders】
Over time, the competition between Conservative party leader candidates Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss has intensified.
Last night, British local time, 2 people on TV fiercely debated, the scene of verbal words:
Truss attacked Sunak's billionaire background and pointed out himself as a more grounded candidate.
In response, Sunak responded that it is the second generation of immigrants who have achieved today's achievements through their own efforts.
Not to be outdone, Sunak attacked Truss for supporting remaining in the EU in the original Brexit referendum.
1. Tax increase or tax cut?
As for when it is the best time to cut taxes, Truss believes that fiscal debt can be repaid within 3 years, and looking around the world, no country is taxing.
Sunak, on the other hand, believes that it is most important to control inflation at present, not to rush to cut taxes, and to adopt austerity policies. If tax cuts are cut immediately, future generations could be saddled with heavier debt.
In response, Truss accused him of creating panic. If elected, Sunak's plan to raise the NI of national insurance by 1.25% will be cancelled immediately. And suspend the green levy to reduce fuel prices. Truss believes that Sunak introduced the highest tax increase in the UK in 70 years, which will lead to a recession in the UK. He advocated tax cuts that would allow Britain to attract more investment.
2, solve the gap between the rich and the poor
Both believe britain needs to address the large gap between rich and poor.
Sunak said that it will attract investment through free trade ports and other places to increase income.
Truss, for its part, said it hopes to create low-tax zones in economically underdeveloped areas to attract more investment. Improving education so that children across the UK can enjoy the benefits of quality schools.
3, climate issues
On how to deal with climate change, Suank believes that energy efficiency should be improved, recycled more, and constantly innovated. Truss said: We should save energy, be frugal and environmentally friendly.
4. Boris
Sunak said he made a decision based on principles and "pulled Boris off the horse."
Truss, on the other hand, expressed his support for Boris and remains in the cabinet. She noted that Boris has contributed to the outbreak and Brexit and led the Conservative Party to an absolute advantage in the 2019 general election. Mistakes are made, but they are not enough to erase merit.
Interestingly, the two men's outfits were also compared, with Truss wearing £4.5 earrings and Sunak wearing a £3,500 suit. Previously, culture official Nadine Dorries had been critical of Sunak's expensive attire on several occasions.
