Truss rejected requests for resignation. "I will remain at my post to fulfill my obligations in the national interest," she said. Truss has only been in office for six weeks. However, she is already under a lot of pressure. Your tax cut package had led to shaking heads and strong resentment in the ranks of the conservative governing party.

As a result, Truss initially had her confidante, then Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng, withdraw the planned tax cut for the rich. She released him on Friday. The new Treasury Secretary Jeremy Hunt almost completely overturned the planned package on Monday. He also announced the establishment of an advisory body on economic issues.
