TORY fanatics demanded yet more extreme policies today, with failed ex-PM Liz Truss leading the right-wing charge.

Wrecking PM Rishi Sunak’s hopes of a united party conference, the right mobilised at a packed fringe rally for cuts in taxes and public spending.

Ms Truss demanded a reduction in business taxes to 19 per cent, adding: “If we can get it lower, the better.”

She also called for less public spending and more fracking to get energy bills down, urging the Tories to be “the party of business again.”

Ms Truss was backed by former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, who attended the event, saying: “I absolutely 100 per cent believe in her.” 

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has, however, ruled out tax cuts at present.

Former cabinet members Jacob Rees-Mogg and Priti Patel also spoke at the rally, stimulating speculation that a cabal of Boris Johnson supporters is mobilising against Mr Sunak’s leadership.

At another event, right-wing culture warriors rallied to demand that Britain leave the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR).

Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch, competing for the far-right franchise in a post-Sunak leadership vote, have both spoken warmly of leaving the EHCR as it would be easier to ignore migrants’ rights.

Mr Sunak has neither fully embraced economic libertarianism nor the culture wars, though is tiptoeing tepidly towards both.

Another Johnsonite, former Brexit negotiator Lord Frost, warned on the fringe that the pension age might need to rise to 75.  He is considering renouncing his peerage to stand as an MP.
