The prime minister will be ousted from her job before Christmas and is a "dead woman walking" unless she drops her plan to hand tax cuts to the rich, a former Cabinet minister warned last night. Speaking to Mirror, the senior figure urged Liz Truss to not unpack her boxes in No10 as she will be booted out within weeks.
Truss has faced criticism from her own party over her handling of the economy at her first Tory conference as leader. Also, in a recent television interview, the PM refused to say if she is preparing to cut spending on pubic services and benefits.
And she was accused of throwing her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng under the bus, as she blamed him for the £10,000-a-year Tory tax cut for Britain’s 660,000 highest earners. A former Cabinet minister last night told Mirror they were "ashamed that we have a party that is having tax cuts for people at the top end, which are going to be funded by cuts in benefits".
