Last night, after news emerged that Kwasi Kwarteng had been sacked as chancellor, several cabinet members spoke up in support of the prime minister.
Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg
The prime minister has acted decisively to provide the economic stability our country needs.
As a government, we must now get on and deliver the pro-growth reforms that will lay the foundations for our future prosperity.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Nadhim Zahawi
It’s time to get Britain moving. We are determined to grow the economy, eliminate the COVID backlog and protect people from Putin’s energy warfare. With Liz Truss, Jeremy Hunt and the rest of the team, we will do all of that and more.
Health Secretary Therese Coffey
The PM is right to act now to ensure our country’s economic stability – key for families and businesses – and reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline, especially in light of the worsening global economic conditions with Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
International Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch
To say it’s been a difficult day would be an understatement. We knew the scale of the challenge this autumn given multiple global headwinds would be unprecedented. Our prime minister is working flat out to get the country through these turbulent times. She has my full support.
