Liz Truss is coming under more pressure from some of her own MPs to rethink the tax cuts announced in last month's mini-budget.

Conservative Home's Paul Goodman also says MPs are considering alternatives to Truss as leader.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly says Truss is sticking with her plan, and removing her as PM would be disastrous.

The PM's strategy was criticised when she attended a meeting of Tory backbenchers last night.

One MP accused her of wrecking 10 years of Conservative policies aimed at helping working people.

Truss has repeatedly defended the proposed tax cuts, funded by borrowing, outlined last month.

During PMQs on Wednesday, she also pledged not to make any cuts to public spending.
