Jeremy Hunt scrapped - just three days after taking office - the plans for sweeping UK tax cuts that rocked Liz Truss's government.

Whether the move is enough for her to remain in office remains to be seen.

The government is now setting out "a new course for growth", tweets Liz Truss in connection with the announcement that the tax credits are being scrapped.

"The British people rightly want stability," she writes about the future plan, which was originally supposed to be presented in November.

But it was more urgent than that and the announcement came already on Monday.

British newspapers hardly speculate anymore if she will be forced to resign, but when this will happen.

By abandoning his controversial tax cuts, which were to be financed with borrowed money, Truss is effectively considered to have already abandoned his own policies.

Some guess that she will be forced out in a few days, others that she has weeks, or months.

But she herself has no plans to leave her post.

- I intend to lead the party in the next election, she tells the BBC.

Anonymous departure requirements

However, voices are being raised from her conservative political colleagues that she should resign, albeit anonymously.

- It is clear now, we cannot win, says an unnamed government colleague and supporter of Truss, writes the BBC.

An MP who supported Truss when she was elected last summer told Politico that "it feels like the end".

- I think she will be gone next week.

During the week, Liz Truss is expected to sit in meetings at 10 Downing Street to try to convince her party group in the House of Commons that she should be given more time.

Truss could possibly be saved by the fact that nobody wants another internal party leadership election so close to the last one.

However, there are faster ways to choose a new party leader - who would also become the next prime minister - without all party members having their say, writes the BBC.

Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt, who Truss defeated in the party leadership election this summer, are being mentioned as possible successors.

Opinion polls show that support for conservative Tories has plummeted to catastrophic levels since she took office on September 6.

The opposition party Labour, on the other hand, led by Keir Starmer, has, according to several polls, over 50 percent support.
