The IMF hasn't "changed its tune" since Liz Truss was Prime Minister - the study in the link is from 2018. The study also doesn't endorse tax cuts like those proposed by Truss when she was PM - it simply finds that spending cuts are less harmful to growth than tax rises. https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/2018/03/alesina
