there were some announcements, the increase in the national living wage, not all that surprising.ansion to try and save money. but at the heart of it is an argument that this is not the right time for tax cuts. and that is controversial here, too. because we had liz truss turn up early in the day to make the argument again for tax cuts. i suspect that some people will find it a bit strange, frankly, that liz truss is still turning up and making these arguments, given what happened when she was in office. but it is worth remembering a lot of conservatives still agree with her and still think the government is being too timid when it comes to the economy and that if you are going to persuade voters to back you at an election next year, you have to come up with a big offer to stimulate economic growth and allow taxes to come down and for people to keep more of their own money. that argument was being made earlier in the day at this conference. the counterargument we have been hearing from the chancellor is, do you know what? it is not the right time, is far better to focus on bringin
