The government will not reverse any more policies from the mini-budget, Kwasi Kwarteng has insisted, despite claims that the corporation tax could go up next year.
Speaking in Washington, chancellor Mr Kwarteng said: "My total focus... is on delivering on the mini-budget and making sure that we get growth back into our economy.
Asked if the Prime Minister promised there would be no further reversals, the spokesperson said: "Yes, and obviously as you know the date for the medium-term fiscal plan has been brought forward."The mini-budget led to a mass sell-off of the pound, leading to widespread criticism of the government and causing the Bank of England to raise interest rates, causing major worry for mortgage holders and threatening damage to the broader economy.
Ms Truss' pledge to get rid of former chancellor Rishi Sunak's planned tax hike from 19% to 25% was a key part of her leadership campaign against Mr Sunak. A source told the paper: "The PM wants to keep the mini budget plan intact but is of course committed to making sure the numbers add up on the 31st."It came as opposition parties slammed Ms Truss and Mr Kwarteng's "kamikaze" mini budget on Thursday.
