Following this morning’s announcement from new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt that “almost all” tax cuts announced in the mini-budget have been scrapped, he and the PM have sent a message to all Conservative MPs.
“The prime minister and the new chancellor are in lockstep and committed to long-term reforms,” the message says.
It adds that the government is “still going for growth” – despite the mass of mini-budget U-turns – and suggests that global factors are to blame for the economic turmoil.
“When we get it wrong, we will say no,” it continues.
It comes as Prime Minister Liz Truss seeks to hold onto her premiership following a tumultuous first few weeks in office.
A total of four Conservative MPs are now publicly calling for Ms Truss to go.
