Where is Liz Truss? PM is 'missing' as UK descends into chaos after mini-budget, claim Conservative Party MPs

Controversies emerged in the UK after newly appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng, announced the mini-budget last Friday. Several Conservative MP's were reportedly furious with the new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss over her 'gamble', and many claimed that her decisions will crash the economy.

UK Prime Minister Lizz Truss has been accused of missing from the action on the ground. The "disastrous" mini-budget has put the new leadership in an embarrassing position, which may force the cabinet to roll back the newly announced amendments.





The deputy leader of the Scottish National Party, Keith Brown, took a thrust at the new prime minister Lizz Truss saying that she had disappeared when the British Pound was plummeting. Brown pointed out that PM LizzTruss hadn't made a public appearance since the mini budget's announcement on Friday and urged her to "come out of hiding."

According to reports, PM Lizz Truss's last public appearance came last week at the UN General Assembly in the US. Several Conservative MP's have submitted "no confidence" letters against the new PM, which might compel Truss and Kwarteng to take a U-turn on their controversial financial plans. Following the announcement of the mini-budget on Friday, the GBP fell to a record low against the dollar.
