Truss U-Turn: Top tax rate cut 'not my idea'
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury has denied reports he presented Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng with a paper suggesting scrapping the 45p top tax rate. Chris Philp was asked multiple times by Kay Burley whether he had proposed the idea. He insisted he had been "asked to look at dozens and dozens of different ideas" but would not divulge details on "private conversations". #LizTruss #Tories #SkyNews #minibudget #kwasikwarteng SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí https://www.youtube.com/channel/skynewsespanol Sky News videos are also available in German here/Hier können Sie außerdem Sky News-Videos auf Deutsch finden: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHYg31l2xrF-Bj859nsOfnA To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
