Jacob Rees-Mogg, minister for government efficiency, has ordered an official review into Whitehall ‘flexitime’ deals
The deal allows officials to decide their own start and finish times, provided they reach the working week of 37.5 hours.
Ms Truss said she would use a September emergency budget to reverse the national insurance rate rise brought in by Mr Sunak when he was chancellor. Ms Truss wrote in the Sunday Telegraph: "I would hit the ground running by bringing in an emergency budget, charting a firm course to get our economy growing in order to help fund our public services and NHS.
Trade minister Penny Mordaunt denied that Ms Truss had ruled out expanding direct payments to people. In an interview with The Times, Mr Sunak said: "The priority for me is to not do things that make it worse and I think putting £40 billion plus and borrowed money into an economy that's seeing an inflation spiral does risk making it worse.
The Sunak supporter told BBC News: "You're going to see energy bills going up to almost £4,000 and if you look at the idea of the tax cuts, this idea of reversing the national insurance contributions, that's only going to benefit someone working full time on the national living wage by less than £60."So this isn't the way to help people through this very difficult period.
"The reality is grim and undeniable: a financial timebomb will explode for families in October as a second round of fuel price rises in six months sends shock waves through every household and pushes millions over the edge," the former prime minister wrote in Sunday's Observer.
