Taking goal at both Labour and Reform UK, the Tory frontbencher will accuse Chancellor Rachel Reeves of 'fiddling the figures' by altering her definition of national financial obligation, and caution that 'populism is not the response'.
Ahead of the Chancellor's spending review next week, her opposite number will implicate her of 'deserting' monetary obligation.
Last night she, in a furious reaction, she accused Mr Stride of having 'kowtowed to the stopped working Treasury orthodoxy' and being 'set on weakening my prepare for growth'.
Mel Stride will use a speech today to say a 'vibrant rewiring' of the economy is required as part of Tory efforts to 'gain back trust' following the fallout from the 2022 mini-budget.
He will likewise fire a broadside at Nigel Farage, saying his assistance for measures such as lifting the two-child benefit cap 'doubles down on the" magic money tree" we thought had actually been gotten rid of with Jeremy Corbyn'.
His anticipated remarks about Ms Truss provoked a furious reaction from the 49-day PM before he had even provided his speech.
Addressing the tradition of the 2022 mini-budget under Ms Truss's premiership, which scared the financial markets and resulted in a spike in mortgage rates, Mr Stride will say: 'For a few weeks, we put at threat the extremely stability which Conservatives had actually constantly stated must be thoroughly protected.
'The credibility of the UK's financial framework was undermined by investing billions on subsidising energy bills and tax cuts, without any proper plan for how this would be paid for.'
The shadow chancellor will claim that the Tories acted swiftly to bring back stability, but the party's reliability would take longer to recuperate.

'That will take time, and it also needs contrition,' he is expected to state. 'So let me be clear: never ever again will the Conservative Party undermine financial reliability by making pledges we can not pay for.'
Ms Reeves has 2 self-imposed 'fiscal guidelines' - moneying everyday costs through taxation and for financial obligation, measured by the standard of 'public sector net financial liabilities' (PSNFL), to be falling as a share of GDP.
She has actually firmly insisted these restraints are 'non-negotiable' amid wrangles with Cabinet coworkers over department spending plans ahead of next week's announcement.
Mr Stride will state: 'At the costs review next week, we can anticipate her to trumpet all of the additional projects and programs she is funding - without discussing the truth it is all being spent for from borrowing.'
Attacking Nigel Farage's Reform celebration after its gains in the regional elections last month, the shadow chancellor will state: 'Take Reform. Their economic prescription is pure populism. It doubles down on the 'magic cash tree' we thought had been banished with Jeremy Corbyn.'
During the speech in main London, he will say the 2 'core concerns' for the party will be 'stability and financial duty', with control of costs and reform of well-being and public services.
He will add: 'And a strong rewiring of the British economy - to let loose development, productivity, and opportunity across the country.'
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has stated that the comeback she expects for the party will take time as it seeks to prevent 'hurrying' into policy commitments.
Mr Stride will insist contemporary politics requires more 'consideration', with the Conservatives preparing to invest the next four years creating a 'reputable' strategy to go back to federal government.
'We will need to take our time if we are to forge a reliable strategy that delivers for individuals of our nation,' he will say.
'Over the next four years, our celebration will do just that.'
Since being ejected from Number 10 after simply 49 days in office, Ms Truss has yielded her plan to quickly eliminate the 45p top rate of tax went too far, but otherwise protected her failed quote to boost growth.
Reacting to the Tory announcement on Thursday, she stated: 'Mel Stride was among the Conservative MPs who kowtowed to the stopped working Treasury orthodoxy and was set on undermining my Plan for Growth from the moment I beat his selected prospect for the celebration leadership.
'Even when judged by the OBR's flawed calculations, my strategies were chalked up as costing less than the costs spree Rishi Sunak pursued as Chancellor throughout the pandemic - yet Mel Stride never ever took him to job over any of that.
'And why has he singularly failed to analyze the role played by the Bank of England in causing the LDI crisis that sent gilt rates spiralling? Why has he never asked the important concerns of the Governor, in spite of the Bank because confessing that two-thirds of the gilt spike was down to them?
'My strategy to turbocharge the economy and get Britain growing once again offered the only pathway for the Conservatives to prevent a disastrous defeat at the election.'
She added: 'Until Mel Stride confesses the financial failings of the last Conservative Government, the British public will not trust the celebration with the reins of power again.'
Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice said: 'We'll take no lectures on economics from a party that more than doubled the national financial obligation, raised taxes and federal government spending to 70-year highs and shrank financial development to 70-year lows.
'Meanwhile, we uncover Tory-run councils wasting ₤ 30 million on a bridge to nowhere. They can never ever be trusted once again.'
The Liberal Democrats implicated the Conservatives of attacking Mr Farage's celebration for 'the same dream economics' they had actually pursued 'while covertly plotting a pact with them' as they branded the speech 'ridiculous'.
Deputy leader Daisy Cooper MP stated: 'It's insulting that the Conservatives think a couple of warm words will fool people into forgiving them for all the damage they did to the economy and individuals's incomes.
'Families are still reeling from the Conservatives' lockdown law-breaking and still paying the rate after their mini spending plan sent mortgages spiralling.
'Now the Conservatives have the cheek to criticise Reform UK for the very same dream economics while secretly outlining a pact with them: it's absurd.'
