The new opinion piece was written by Truss to support a think tank report she authored which called for patients to be charged for GP appointments and doctors’ pay to be cut by 10%. When details of this radical document emerged on Thursday, the Truss campaign insisted that “co-authoring a document does not mean that one supports every proposal that is put forward”. However, the appearance of the accompanying article is likely to embarrass the Tory leadership frontrunner by showing that she fully supported the ideas set out in the 2009 report, which was called Back to Black. Labor said Truss “cannot be trusted to protect an NHS she doesn’t believe in or doctors she doesn’t value” after her views surfaced when she was deputy director of the Reform thinktank, a year before becoming an MP. In the Spectator article, Truss said the NHS cannot be a “no-go” when it comes to cost-cutting, adding that doctors’ pay has “inexorably risen” and “must be curbed”. He wrote: “In our new ‘Back to Black’ report, Reform argues that politicians will need to go beyond waste to achieve the reductions needed. addressing programs and entitlements in key spending areas to achieve change. We have identified cuts of £30bn across the ‘big five’. defence, health, work and pensions, communities and education. “No section can be a restricted area. This means the NHS, which accounts for one sixth of government spending, cannot be put on a pedestal. Doctors’ pay which has risen irreversibly must be curbed. Redundant bodies such as Health Strategies and health campaigns that urge the public to stop ‘going out’ should be abandoned.” He also called for cuts to “pension tricks for the well-off” – the universal winter fuel payment of more than £250 for older people, which still exists, and free TV licenses for the over-75s, which are now only funded for those on pension credit. Although David Cameron continued to deliver steep cuts to the state during the austerity years, his slogan was “cut the deficit, not the NHS”. During his election campaigns, he promised to cut health spending because cutting it openly would be so controversial with the public, although NHS spending also ended up being squeezed because it did not keep pace with demand. Truss worked for Reform in 2008-09 before becoming a Tory MP. In Back to Black: Budget 2009, the Tories and their co-authors also called for a review of the Trident nuclear deterrent.

Truss recently pledged to renew Trident at a hustings in Scotland. The report also called for the abolition of universal child benefit and the scrapping of several major military procurement projects, including the planned aircraft carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, which were described as “inappropriate defense projects”. It came days after the Guardian revealed a leaked recording of Truss saying British workers needed “more graft” and suggesting they lacked the “skills and application” of foreign rivals. Asked about the article backing the Back to Black paper written 13 years ago, a Truss campaign spokesman said: “This is an almost two-decade-old document written against the backdrop of Labour’s bankrupting of the economy. “Liz is focused on her bold economic plan to stimulate growth, cut taxes and put money back into the pockets of working people.” Polls have consistently shown Truss as the clear favorite to win the No 10 race, with pundit Sir John Curtis saying he would be “extremely surprised” if she doesn’t take office. Labor said Truss’s report revealed “the reality of her agenda is devastating cuts” and that her track record “shows her true colours”. Angela Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, said: “No public service would be safe with Liz Truss in charge. She simply cannot be trusted to protect an NHS she does not believe in or doctors she does not value. The more people find out about Liz Truss, the clearer it becomes her true destructive agenda to cut frontline services and drag Britain backwards. “Liz Truss is a fantasist, completely out of touch with the public.” Truss and her rival Rishi Sunak will take part in a rally in Manchester on Friday night as the pair continue to criss-cross the country to try and drum up support for Tory MPs. In another attempt to reach out to party members, Sunak promised on Friday to “end the war on motorists”, including a possible crackdown on so-called low-traffic neighborhoods (LTNs), which use filters to boost walking and the bicycle by preventing motor vehicles from using smaller residential roads as three rats. Sunak said there were concerns that LTNs, which are strongly supported by Johnson’s No 10, could delay emergency services. Emergency services said they support the idea of LTNs.
