Tory MP Alicia Kearns has taken aim at the Government's messaging over the mini-budget, which unleashed market turmoil and crashed the pound.
Speaking on LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr, Kearns appeared to oppose the high levels of borrowing to fund the Government's tax cuts, and took aim at Number 10 messaging.
Asked by Marr what she thought about the extraordinary events happening at Cabinet level, she said: "I think it's a really difficult one, because we all want the Government to succeed, and I don't think that's unique to Conservatives at the moment around the country. "Everyone is scared, and in a time of crisis when people are nervous, they want to see pragmatism, and they want to see fiscal responsibility, and that is my concern."
Marr asked MP, who was among the 2019 intake, whether she'd like to see the unfunded tax cuts reversed.
