Responding to Liz Truss’ announcement of a war on waste, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“It’s long past time that politicians committed to a proper war on waste.
“Liz Truss is right to pick up these policies which will scrap diversity demagogues, tackle militant unions and limit public sector perks, all of which will be welcomed by hard-pressed households.
“Taxpayers will be watching to see that these welcome words are put into action, whoever wins the Tory leadership.”
