"I am a fighter and not a deserter", proclaims Liz Truss in Parliament

• United Kingdom The 'tories' debate how to get rid of Liz Truss

"I am a fighter and not a deserter," the "premier"

has proclaimed in the British Parliament, in the face of growing pressure from the opposition and members of her own party to resign.

"The Treasury secretary is gone, almost all of his budget proposals are gone,

, Labor leader

asked in the first confrontation between the two in Westminster after the chaos of recent days.

Truss again asked "forgiveness for the mistakes"

before the deputies and assured that his Government has changed direction, but Starmer was not happy with the excuses: "It is not enough to apologize. You have made the economy explode. Your fantasy economy has led us to disaster".

The "premier" went through serious trouble between the

and the lack of support in their own seats.

His speech was in fact preceded by the warning of former minister Michael Gove: "The question is not if (Truss) will leave, but when will he leave. We are going through hell, and after hell comes purgatory, which is the hard economic medicine that is going to be applied in this country and in many others".

With the worrying inflation data -again above 10%- the anger of the "tories" for the "budget of the rich" gave way to concern about the possible cut in pensions in real terms that could lead to a loss of up to 450 euros per year for each British retiree.

However, Truss ruled out in Parliament that this measure will come into effect and assured that pensions will rise in line with inflation.

Keir Starmer left her again, however, in evidence: "His promises last just a week. Last Wednesday he told us that there were going to be no cuts in public spending."

The Conservatives kept their swords raised during the debate, although some of them visibly distanced themselves from the "premier" and MP Steve Double joined the half-dozen co-religionists who have called for his resignation: "

. "

The Labor opposition forced a vote on Wednesday on the plans of the Government of Liz Truss to end the moratorium on fracking that can be supported by dozens of "Tory" deputies and be interpreted as a motion of censure against the "premier".

55% of conservative militants think at this point that Liz Truss should resign.

Conservative tabloids and the influential Conservative Home portal have withdrawn their support for the "premier".

However, her cabinet has closed ranks in the face of pressure from the party itself, with Foreign Secretary James Cleverly acting as spokesman: "Mistakes have been made, we have learned from them and we are moving forward."
