Prime Minister Liz Truss apologises for ‘mistakes’ as she vows to lead Tories into next election
Liz Truss has apologised for her 'mistakes' and has pledged to lead the Tories into the next general election as she fought for her job after ditching her tax-cutting plans. The Prime Minister said she has 'adjusted what we’re doing' after the Government’s fiscal policies spooked the markets.
Truss is still battling to save her premiership after her economic agenda was left in tatters by the dismantling of her former chancellor’s landmark mini-budget. “I do think it is the mark of an honest politician who does say, yes, I’ve made a mistake,” she said. Speaking after Jeremy Hunt – the new Chancellor – scaled back the energy support package and ditched 'almost all' the tax cuts announced by his predecessor, Truss said she wanted to 'accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made'.
She added she is 'sticking around' because she was 'elected to deliver for this country', and said: “I will lead the Conservatives into the next general election.”
