It is time for Liz Truss to go, Nicola Sturgeon has said after the Prime Minister sacked her chancellor and U-turned on a cut to corporation tax.
Jeremy Hunt has been appointed as the new chancellor and is the UK’s fourth Chancellor of the Exchequer in just over three months, and the fifth person to hold the role in three years.
“This was beyond a joke, it was never funny, but Liz Truss has already through her own decisions crashed the economy and heaped misery on people who were already struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.“She had already shown herself to be completely out of her depth as Prime Minister, and as of today she is also a lame duck prime minister.
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said “11th hour U-turns and scapegoating” will not be enough to save Ms Truss.
