'During her leadership contest, the prime minister said, and I quote her exactly: "I’m very clear I’m not planning public spending reductions." Is she going to stick to that?' the Labour leader asked. Truss replied: 'Absolutely.'
The prime minister also surprised MPs when she said she would honour a Tory manifesto commitment to ban 'no-fault evictions' after the Labour MP Graham Stringer asked what the government's position was.
