Liz Truss’s premiership will swing into action this week after a political pause to mark the Queen’s death, with a packed schedule of policy and diplomacy to follow the state funeral. It is expected to confirm Ms Truss’s plans to reverse the national insurance hike and cancel the planned rise in corporation tax. She is also considering slashing personal taxes in addition to business levies in her proposed “investment zones”, dubbed “full fat freeports”. “And I think it was wonderful to be a Speaker where the House is united as one. That will be a wonderful legacy to the late Queen, and to the new King going forward.”
