Liz Truss today admitted she should have done a "better job" after her tax-slashing, high-borrowing mini-Budget triggered disaster on the markets.
The Prime Minister refused to U-turn on her plan, which will cost £72bn in borrowing next year alone, despite a Tory revolt and threats to block scrapping the 45p top tax rate.
She also refused eight times to rule out swingeing real-terms public sector or benefit cuts, saying: "What I'm going to make sure is we get value for money for the taxpayer."
