Liz Truss abandons £8.8bn policy to reduce public sector pay following backlash
Liz Truss has abandoned a flagship policy to slash £8.8 billion from public sector pay after senior Conservatives warned that the plans would leave nurses, police officers and teachers poorer. The Tory leadership candidate was accused of 'levelling down' the nation and has now abandoned plans to pay workers in cheaper regions less than their counterparts in London and the South East.
