Prime Minister Liz Truss has met her cabinet this morning, as she battles to regain authority and chart a new economic course.

New chancellor Jeremy Hunt was expected to tell ministers that they need to agree savings by the end of the week.

Last night, Truss said she was sorry for her government's mistakes, and that they had tried to move "too far too fast"

Hunt has scrapped nearly all the tax cuts announced at last month's mini-budget.

Truss says she still intends to lead the Conservatives into the next general election, despite heavy criticism from within her party.

Five Conservative MPs are openly calling for her to resign, with others briefing in private that her time in No 10 is up.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, tipped as a replacement for Truss, accused colleagues of playing "political parlour games"
