Continuity rumors about Liz Truss in the UK

The main British and European media speak of a tense context, with a crisis of confidence, in which they point out impeachment attempts on Truss, even within his own party.

The minister had announced that she would maintain her controversial cut plan spending and taxes to revive economic growth, breaking his silence on Thursday after nearly a week of chaos in financial markets caused by his huge tax cuts.
