Dominic Raab has written a scathing article on Ms Truss' tax plans as calls grow for the leadership contenders to come together and agree a solution on the cost of living crisis.

He later told Times Radio that people must be"tearing their hair out" at Tory in-fighting.

Her plan to reverse the national insurance increase, which Mr Sunak brought in as chancellor to boost NHS and social care funding, has been criticised by his allies for disproportionally benefitting high earners. However, poverty campaigners say neither of the plans set out by the leadership contenders go far enough, as calls grow for Mr Sunak and Ms Truss to sit around a table with Boris Johnson and thrash out emergency measures.

The charity is calling for the financial package of support for those on benefits to double and to make debt deduction repayments more affordable to stop people falling further into hardship.
