Over the next week, Sunak intends to make the case that Britain faces a national emergency on five fronts, including the economy, the National Health Service and migration, the newspaper reports.
Liz Truss, Sunak’s rival for the top job, holds a 24-point lead over him in a YouGov poll of Conservative Party members released on Thursday.
Inflation is the “number one challenge we face”, Sunak told the newspaper, adding that according to Truss’ plans, interest rates in the country could rise significantly.
Sunak said he plans to cut taxes, but only once inflation – which is currently nearing 10% – is brought under control. He accused his rivals of making “fairy tale” promises about tax cuts.
Truss, who is currently Britain’s foreign secretary, has made other promises of tax cuts that are estimated to cost 30 billion pounds ($36.01 billion) a year.
On Saturday, Ms Truss will announce that all EU legislation on the UK law books will benefit from a sunset clause by the end of 2023, the Telegraph reported. A decision will be made on whether to maintain, amend or remove some 2,400 laws by then, Ms Truss told the newspaper on Friday.
