Liz Truss sacked her chancellor and ditched one of his key tax-cutting measures in an attempt to head off threats to her premiership - but whether it will prove to be enough to turn things around is yet to be determined.

Do voters have confidence in Truss?

Cabinet ministers also remained publicly loyal, tweeting their support for Ms Truss and her new chancellor.Analysing market reaction to latest U-turnHeated messages wereafter her news conference, with a screenshot sent to Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates showing Crispin Blunt calling for Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt to take over.

A source apparently close to Mr Kwarteng suggested that Ms Truss may only have bought herself a few more weeks in office, according to The Times.

Her’s not his.

The Black guy Kwasi Kwarteng the scapegoat for the Tories. This is a lesson for conservative POC. You are only window dressing. The minute conservatives want to terminate you they will.

Incompetent prime minister

The lights on..but there's no one home!!🙄...God this woman has done so much damage!!...and in so little time!!...bring on the G/E...this government needs to be thrown out before they can do more damage!!😡

4/ We have to pay for what we want, like it or lump it . The NHS is not free those that work pay for it via taxes. My pension is paid for by taxes.

3/ Labour or Lib Dems have not come out as opposition with any plans other like the media moaning destroying as they do Britain's position in the world. We could stop paying charity's, Ukraine, Common wealth countries plus world crisis problems or millions on Rhonda.

so she think Jeremy Hunt her council going to keep her from the Tory wolves. what’s that say about his integrity, court jester more like. Do anything that elevates them to power with not one shred of competency on governing this country

2/ A rush in giving a plan one week In was stupid anyone in business would give 6 months to find a resolution a plan . But rushing out the door forgetting your policy was completely stupid. But if Liz Truss is ousted who could replace her and still have NO plan.

Who do you think will be next PM?

To be fair. She been put in a place after Boris was handing out money after the pandemic. With world economics falling and getting Britain back to work asking employers to employ and paying a higher pay increase. Russia. A job she's never done being advised by media and

Fantasy Economics - she won the leadership race on false pretences - trussliz time to RESIGN - 🧐🤔 just a thought 💭 GeneralElectionNow

Worse pm ever...what a joke

Give the woman a chance!! She was elected by Conservative Party Members, she has inherited a pile of issues, she is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't! So she's not a great orator,at least she is addressing market responses to her gung-ho enthusiasm!

The same mps saying she has to go are the same mps who voted for her last month😂

I voted tory all my life and would change but dont like starmer. But truss needs to resign today as she has proved in days shes not the right pm. Laughable, who will take her seriously

This is a joke, call a general election, the tories have been a bunch of clowns since the brexit vote! If this goes on it will damage the UK forever. Why don't we put experts in charge over these departments not friends and yes men! Labour and the SNP are laughing!

This woman needs to go. Every time she opens her mouth my investments take a nose dive! Is this really the best the Tories could come up with for their and our leader?

Lol. She was so confident in her campaign.

She needs to go. She's a liability and Putin is more likely to escalate whilst we have a complete lame duck 'leader'

The Lettuce is going to win 😀👍,it's more likeable than the Truss-Bot.

Chaos everywhere?

Could we put Donald Trump in charge? He’s half Scottish. We would get someone with a back bone and it would quieten down wee Jimmy McSturgeon too! 😉

What an absolute muppet

Tories struggling to stay in power. It’s a much bigger problem for them. In fact they have collectively damaged trust in politics so much, no one trusts any party in England right now.

I'll give her two weeks max

Hahahaha

Put AI in charge. Never ending conveyer belt of “leaders”

When the country goes bankrupt under a labour government next, Thank the media for the constant onslaught Won’t you..

What a shambles, I wonder…….. has she changed that wallpaper yet?

Why trust her?

Shambles GeneralElectionNow

Can the UK just put AI in control now?

Her plan was to destroy the party all along, she’s still a Lib Dem.

Battling to stay in power? What are you on? trussliz is NOT battling to stay in power 🤣🤣🤣 ahh MSM bulls**t

As long she's a zionist nothing happens!

It's about time they wheel out Suella Hamster Chops to say something spiteful to deflect

No plan. No hope. No thank you. resign

Karma is a bitch that's what you get liz for stabbing Boris in the back liztrussout liztrussout LiztrussResign BorisJohnson

Sadly she has been sabotaged by a group of egoistic MPs and pro 🐍 losers within her own party.

If she thinks the people are backing her she should call a GE and put her conviction to the test

The inevitable price of following the US to its doldrums of descendance. All these problems emanate from one point- wanting to undermine Russian politics,economics and Russian independence.But how the plan has boomeranged to the very initiators,is a challenge to EU's existence.
