Liz Truss to claim her economic plan would have saved government £35bn

Former PM set to give speech defending her time in charge and explaining spending decisions

Liz Truss will claim that Rishi Sunak's government has spent 35bn more than she would have as prime minister, in a speech on Monday.

The short-lived prime minister will use a speech at the Institute for Government to defend and explain her time in charge, nearly a year on from the ill-fated mini-budget that helped end her premiership.
