Senior advisers have turned on Liz Truss after she pledged to not reduce public spending.
The Prime Minister's leadership was in renewed peril on Wednesday evening as she was accused of "trashing the last 10 years" of the Tories' record at a bruising meeting with backbenchers.
Despite Downing Street insisting the tax cuts will go ahead, one government source said privately "that could change" after the PM ruled out a reduction to public spending. It comes after Ms Truss insisted during PMQs on Wednesday that she will stick to her pledge not to reduce public spending. Mel Stride warned: "The Chancellor will only get one opportunity to land his plans and the forecast positively.Meanwhile, Sajid Javid recommended either the tax cuts or the energy price freeze be scaled back in order to balance the books.
But she was met with open criticism, with MPs reportedly raising concerns about soaring mortgage rates and the Tories' slump in the polls.
