Work and Pensions Minister Victoria Prentis on Monday hinted Truss may change her mind, telling Sky News: “It’s really important that we make sure that we target the government resources at the most vulnerable.” The premier’s spokesman, Max Blain, told reporters that Truss is open-minded and in listening mode on the issue.Ī reversal on the issue wouldn’t be the first for Truss as she seeks to reset her premiership barely a month after taking office. But she’s facing opposition from MPs in her own Conservative Party, including members of the cabinet, over concerns about giving some of the most vulnerable people a real-terms cut in their income in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis. Truss earlier this month hinted she’s considering uprating benefits in line with wages - a move that could save the public purse around £5 billion ($5.5 billion) - despite a promise by her predecessor, Boris Johnson, to match inflation.
