Keir Starmer criticises Liz Truss as UK PM vows no cutbacks
Liz Truss faced angry MPs, flabbergasted by her continued avoidance of PMQs (Prime Minister's Questions) with arguments about her mini-budget.

Truss claims that Labour is against the idea of spending but had earlier agreed to most of the spending. She stood by her earlier proclamation that she would not cut public spending, which she claimed the Labour party had endorsed. Truss says she cannot understand the Labour Party's policy, where they accused her of spending money on the one hand and cutting public expenditure on the other. Truss is sure that they will be spending the public money they budgeted, and they will spend it well.
Labour party leader Keir Starmer wondered who voted for the spending in the first place. Truss has been accused of madness by Starmer due to her'mini-budget policy.' Homeowners, according to Labour, have to bear the additional expenditure of £500 on their mortgages. Starmer calls Truss' budget a "kamikaze budget" and is assured by the Tory MPs who back her that the public won't forgive them. Labour MPs are demanding the immediate return of Kwasi Kwarteng from Washington to save Britain's economy.
For the time being, spending will continue to rise, as indicated by No. 10, but with strict discipline. Tory MPs sought a plan from the Prime Minister to show how the government plans to bridge the gap between public spending of £60 billion and the deficit.
