Shaken UK Conservatives seek unity after Truss’ rocky start

Associated Press  

LONDON — U.K. government ministers implored Conservative colleagues to rally behind Prime Minister Liz Truss after a disastrous start to her premiership that has left the governing party demoralized and divided. Cabinet minister Nadhim Zahawi told the BBC that with two years or less until the next general election, the party should “get behind Liz because division will cause delay, delay is our enemy, and ultimately defeat.” House of Commons leader Penny Mordaunt, one of the Conservatives who ran against Truss this summer to replace Boris Johnson as the party’s leader and the U.K.'s prime minister, said in an article for the Sunday Telegraph that “division will only play into the hands of those who would take our country in the wrong direction.” Home Secretary Suella Braverman wrote in a piece the Sun newspaper published Sunday that “the choice for my colleagues and for us is as party is simple: Back Liz or get Keir Starmer, hand-in-hand with Nicola Sturgeon.” A misfiring economic plan that sparked turmoil on financial markets marred Truss’ tumultuous first month in office and threw her party into disarray. Conservative legislator Mel Stride, who heads the House of Commons Treasury Committee, said the party mood is “fairly febrile.” “There are a lot of backbenchers and indeed members of the government who are very concerned at where we are in the polls,” he told Times Radio. Opposition from inside the party forced Truss to U-turn on part of her tax cuts package, but she has vowed to “stay the course” on the rest of her plan, despite economists’ warnings that big public spending cuts will be needed to pay for lower taxes.
