Furious Tories brand Truss a 'corpse delivering its own eulogy' after awkward BBC interview: PM faces her Cabinet after FINALLY saying sorry as she fights to hang on in the wake of mini-Budget demolition... and second meeting with 1922 chief looms
Liz Truss is in for another brutal day as MPs consider whether and how to remove her in the wake of Jeremy Hunt's extraordinary demolition of her flagship economic plans. Having stubbornly failed to do so when she sacked Kwasi Kwarteng on Friday, Ms Truss belatedly apologised for the debacle last night in a BBC interview, conceding she had made 'mistakes' and gone 'too far too fast'. She gave a similar message to the One Nation group of MPs. But Tories who attended compared it to a 'corpse delivering its own eulogy'. Senior backbencher Simon Hoare warned this morning that the party might need to focus on 'avoiding a landslide defeat', with polls showing Labour 36 points ahead.
