Liz Truss tries to rally MPs amid fresh Tory infighting

Liz Truss will on Wednesday try and rally Conservative MPs behind her faltering management, at a celebration convention that has descended into acrimony, cupboard infighting and confusion.

The prime minister was compelled on Monday to axe a plan to scrap the 45p prime charge of tax by insurgent Tory MPs, prompting residence secretary Suella Braverman to accuse her colleagues of staging “a coup”.
