Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak’s tax cut pledges are looking more and more implausible, one of the country's leading economic groups warns today. The Tory pair have not explained how they will fund “permanent” tax cuts while inflation rockets to 10.1% in July, the highly-respected Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said. The IFS did suggest short-term Government borrowing to support struggling households may be necessary.
