Jacob Rees-Mogg says Liz Truss is “very focused” on ensuring “decisions are made and acted upon quickly” in handling the cost of living crisis.

The new business, energy and industrial strategy secretary also suggested the prime minister will be able to “get energy into the machinery of government”.
