Get behind Liz Truss, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt tells Tory MPs

Jeremy Hunt calls for unity, amid talk of backbenchers plotting to remove the PM from office.

Mr Hunt replaced Kwasi Kwarteng on Friday, after Ms Truss fired the former chancellor. His sacking followed market turmoil in response to £45bn of unfunded tax cuts included in the mini-budget.

Asked whether he could rule out scrapping more of the tax cuts, Mr Hunt said he wanted to keep as many of the cuts "as I possibly can", but warned "I'm not taking anything off the table".
