Liz Truss faces a mutiny from Tory MPs unless she scraps plans to snatch £1,000 in benefits from hard-up families to fund her tax cuts for millionaires.
Tories yesterday said it would be “untenable” and “unconscionable” for ministers to go back on a promise to increase benefit payments in line with inflation next year.
A rebel ringleader told the Mirror: “We will have zero chance of keeping our seats if we do not stop this, so we will do whatever it takes.”
