Tory MPs turn on Truss after turbulent day_我的网站

七侠五义

A | London, Oct 15 (UNI) British Prime Minister Liz Truss is facing a backlash from Conservative MPs after firing her Chancellor and announcing a second U-turn on a major economic policy.

One former Minister told the BBC: "We cannot go on like this indefinitely."

Another Tory MP said the party was in a "state of despair" after the PM's Downing Street news conference.

Truss supporter Christopher Chope said "time will tell" if she had done enough to secure her position, calling those plotting to remove her "hyenas".

Sir Christopher said: "We can't possibly force another Prime Minister out of office, we've just got to calm down and try to give the Prime Minister our support."

In an attempt to end turmoil on the financial markets, Truss sacked her Chancellor and close ally Kwasi Kwarteng, replacing him with former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. She then reversed a key policy to scrap a planned rise in corporation tax from 19 to 25 per cent.

It is the second major U-turn on September's mini-budget after Truss cancelled her plan to scrap the top rate of income tax earlier this month.

At a brief news conference in Downing Street on Friday, the Prime Minister dismissed calls for her resignation, saying she was determined to see her promises through.

Commenting on the corporation tax U-turn, Sir Christopher added it was "going to be damaging to the prospects for growth" and was "totally inconsistent" with what Truss said during her leadership campaign.

Conservative MP for Coalville, Andrew Bridgen, said he thought there would "be a challenge to Truss in the next few weeks".

Bridgen, who backed Rishi Sunak to be leader, said: "Dissatisfaction is so high in the parliamentary party.

"Removing Kwasi Kwarteng when he implemented the policies she asked him to do won't engender loyalty to her."

Former Conservative leader William Hague meanwhile said her premiership was "hanging by a thread".

Government borrowing costs rose and the pound's value fell after the Prime Minister's latest U-turn.

Some economists warned that the latest developments might not be enough to restore the UK's credibility.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called for a general election, saying Truss is "unfit to hold the office of Prime Minister".

Privately many Conservative MPs admit they have gone through despondency and into despair over the past 24 hours.

Another MP called Ms Truss's news conference "a mega-disaster". They said: "She will have to resign."

UNI MR。 Ranveer Singh is currently reeling under the success of his recently released film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Both Dhurandhar and its sequel have earned big numbers at the box office and impressed the audience beyond expectations. Now, amid all the love the actor is getting for his performance, he was clicked with his actress-wife Deepika Padukone at a local restaurant. They clicked a selfie with the staff, where Deepika and Ranveer can be seen twinning in black. The couple seemed cheerful and sported wide smiles. The photo also featured Ranveer's father, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani. Take a look at the photo here: Deepika Padukone with Husband Ranveer singh and FIL at a cafe in Mumbai. pic.twitter.com/R8Fj6fugzi — iutlka (@iutlkaa) March 26, 2026 This celebration comes amid Dhurandhar: The Revenge's success, which entered the Rs 1000 crore club within one week of its release. The first part of Dhurandhar, which was released in December 2025, also became a global sensation, earning over Rs 1300 crore worldwide. The Aditya Dhar directorial stars Ranveer Singh as Hamza, an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates criminal and political networks in Karachi to dismantle a terror cell. The sequel, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which was released on March 19, explores the rise of Hamza while delving into his origins as Jaskirat Singh Rangi. The star-studded cast of the sequel also includes Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera and Danish Pandor, among others. Filmfare rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and wrote in its review, "Ultimately, this is Ranveer Singh’s show, and he commits to it wholeheartedly. His dual portrayal, lean, impulsive Jaskirat and the bulked-up, calculating Hamza, is convincing, even if the character occasionally veers into full-blown patriotic poster boy territory. He embodies both the emotional turmoil and the ruthless efficiency the role demands, anchoring the film even when the script threatens to spiral. He literally has given his 110 per cent to the film and given the hint of a sequel, be prepared for more of Hamza in the future."
