Tory conference: Liz Truss will lose 45p tax rate vote, says Shapps
Liz Truss would lose a Commons vote on cutting The Top rate of Income Tax , former cabinet minister Grant Shapps has told The Bbc .
Scrapping the 45% top rate was a key part of Last Friday 's mini-budget aimed at boosting growth.
But it has faced a growing backlash from Conservative MPs after market turmoil and a big slide in the polls.
Michael Gove earlier hinted That he would vote against it - But Mr Shapps has now gone further.
The former transport secretary warned Ms Truss not to have a " tin ear" to voters' concerns about rising living costs and to do a U-turn as soon as possible.
" Let's not muddy the water with. . Tax Cuts for wealthy people right now, when the priority needs to be on everyday households, " He Said .
MPs are not likely to get a chance to vote on the Tax changes until next spring, But Mr Shapps suggested enough Tory MPs would join forces with Labour and other opposition parties to defeat it.
" I don't think The House is in a in a place where it's likely to support That , " he told The Bbc on The First day of The Conservative conference in Birmingham.
Like others who supported Rishi Sunak in the Tory leadership Contest , Mr Shapps was fired from The Cabinet by Ms Truss when she became Prime Minister .
But Mr Shapps insisted he was not being unhelpful to the new PM. " Sometimes budgets go wrong when they're announced, " He Said .
He cited George Osborne 's 2012 Budget - dubbed the " omnishambles" - as an example of when economic policies have been " quickly reversed".
" And you know what? We went on to win The Next election. So I mean this to be entirely helpful. There is a way through this. "
Instead of just " pushing on" with the 45p top rate cut, He Said the government " needed to actually recognise That we're trying to Do Something here, which really isn't possible at this moment".
Talking to Sky News , Conservative Party chairman Jake Berry warned That Tory MPs who voted against the Prime Minister 's Tax measures would be kicked out of the parliamentary party - known as losing The Whip .
He urged Conservatives to back the Prime Minister , adding: " I'm sure That if we do That it will lead ultimately to long-term electoral success. "
But former Levelling-Up Secretary Michael Gove - who also backed Mr Sunak in The Leadership Contest - Said there were " two major" problems with the Prime Minister 's plans.
" The First is The Sheer risk of using borrowed money to fund Tax Cuts - That 's not Conservative, " He Said .
The Second , he argued, was to cut The Top rate of Income Tax and scrap the cap on bankers' bonuses " at a time when people are suffering".
Asked if Ms Truss would be Prime Minister This Time next year, He Said she would But added: " There needs to be a course correction. "
And asked on the Telegraph's Chopper's Politics Live podcast if the Prime Minister had a mandate for her Tax changes, Mr Gove argued she did for changes to National Insurance and corporation Tax - because she had campaigned for them during The Leadership Contest .
But he added: " What was not discussed was the prospect of Income Tax Cuts , particularly Income Tax Cuts for the very wealthiest. "
