Don’t be fooled by the Tory tax U-turn | Brief letters

Tory ideology lives on | Kwarteng's humility and contrition | A Truss moment | Conference gamble | Radioactive element

No one should be fooled into thinking that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng have had a genuine Damascene conversion (Liz Truss abandons plan to scrap 45p top rate of income tax amid Tory revolt, 3 October). They have already demonstrated what Tory ideology is - helping the very rich and penalising those in poverty.

Kwasi Kwarteng claims that he feels humility and contrition" after the tax U-turn, but he refuses to apologise, showing that he has, in fact, no humility or contrition. If he were capable of humility, he wouldn't have announced his damaging tax plans without any economic impact assessment.
