“I think it was the wrong choice to make, I spoke out against it at the time in Cabinet, I still remain opposed to it and I’d reverse that rise.” “And that’s why I think you can be reassured the NHS is safe in my hands because I’ve taken what was a brave decision to get it the support it needed.” He said: “I made sure we got the NHS the funding it needed to help work through the backlogs, get everyone the care they needed and do that as quickly as possible. “But I’ve always said that I’ll do more as the situation demands it and if it looks as it does look likely now that energy bills are even higher than we thought then of course, I as Prime Minister would come back and do more to help people through because that’s what I’ve done for the last couple of years.” Ms Truss told the debate that she would reduce the green levy on energy bills, saying: “The major debate between Rishi and I is about the economy, what I am promising is to deliver tax cuts straight away and to relieve the burden on Sun readers’ pockets and bills.” The broadcaster said in a statement: “Kate McCann fainted on air tonight and although she is fine, the medical advice was that we shouldn’t continue with the debate.

We apologise to our viewers and listeners.” Ms Truss wrote, “Relieved to hear [Kate McCann] is fine. Ms Truss accused Mr Sunak of waging “Project Fear’’ and “scaremongering” by rubbishing her blueprint to turbocharge the economy. Really sorry that such a good debate had to end. He told The Sun: “I will be supporting the person who I believe can be trusted to invest in defence and make us safer from the threats that I think have grown in the last 12 months.” In a brutal swipe Mr Sunak shot back: “I remember the referendum campaign and there was only one of us who was on the side of Remainer Project Fear - and it was you not me.” Mr Sunak rejected “arbitrary targets” but pledged to do what is needed to keep the country safe. He said: “It’s important what we leave our kids and our grandkids, and I think it is important to think about that inheritance, and I don’t want to pass them a bill.” Ahead of the debate, the Foreign Sec savaged Mr Sunak’s plan as a “disaster” for the UK. “And I believe that Sun readers want us to keep to our manifesto commitment of not raising taxes.” During a fiery 30-minute debate before the incident, Foreign Secretary Ms Truss had promised to “relieve the burden” of citizens with a tax cuts bonanza. Mr Sunak hit back that her tax-cutting spree would only fuel inflation further, and said it was “immoral” to saddle our kids with future debt.

After Mr Sunak said he was glad he was getting "the support that you need," Mr Hughes replied: "I'm not getting that, Mr Sunak." But Mr Sunak responded that the NI hike had been a "brave decision" to raise money for the NHS, and it was "entirely reasonable" to ask bigger companies to pay more to repair the public finances in the wake of the Covid pandemic.
