Prime Minister Liz Truss has denied any hints that she plans to resign after sacking her Chancellor earlier today.
Kwasi Kwarteng said that he accepted Ms Truss's request to "stand aside" from the senior position as she prepared to announce a series of u-turns on her mini-budget which was announced at the beginning of her premiership. Today, at a press conference in Downing Street, the Prime Minister defended her policies, stating that she was elected by her party to deliver a "low tax, high wage, high growth economy".
It comes after she announced she would be reversing her policy to scrap the planned rise in corporation tax from 19 per cent to 25 per cent - which was introduced by former Chancellor Rishi Sunak. She told reporters earlier this afternoon that she's always "been ambitious for growth".
