The Prime Minister ditched a major chunk of her mini-budget in an extraordinary gamble to stay in power, saying at an eight-minute press conference on Friday that the plan would raise £18 billion pounds per year.
Ms Truss did not address the criticism of the government after the turmoil unleashed by the mini Budget at the end of last month - and did not respond to a question from ITV asking if she would apologise. This morning Lord Gavin Barwell, Theresa May's former chief of staff, told LBC the "national interest would be best served" if Truss resigned.
"She has burned the house down and she is the chief firefighter. She is now going to be running the country on policies that she trashed completely in the leadership contest... why isn't she joining Kwasi under the bus?"A former minister added: "Credibility can be retained to some extent under a new leader but not this one."
