Debbonaire asks why former Shell employee, the new PM, is against windfall tax

Shadow leader of the House of Commons Thangam Debbonaire has blasted new prime minister Liz Truss for her stance against windfall tax.

She asked “what is it about former Shell employee, the new prime minister, that means she is so determined to protect the £170 billion of excess profits of oil and gas?”

Truss is expected to make a statement today on how her new government will tackle the cost of living crisis.
