After a week of political and economic nightmare, British Prime Minister Liz Truss made clear on television Sunday her stance before confronting her angry party at the annual Conservative conference.

Less than a month into her tenure as prime minister, the incredibly unpopular Trace will speak to the BBC from Birmingham in central England, where the Conservatives meet for four days after a week of fiasco.

A number of Conservative MPs, including supporters of Rishi Sunak - her rival in the campaign for the party leadership - were stunned by the massive tax cut plan unveiled last week by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarting.

The announcement of the plan led to a state of panic in the markets and the exchange rate of the pound fell to the lowest historical level, and the International Monetary Fund criticized the project, while the Central Bank was forced to intervene urgently to calm things down.

After days of silence in the face of the situation, Truss spoke to a number of local BBC stations Thursday as her awkward silence made more noise than her futile attempts to defend her policy.

On Friday, she admitted that there had been "turmoil" but ruled out a backtracking on the plan. "Winter will be difficult, but I am determined to do everything to help families and the economy," she said, stressing in the popular newspaper "The Sun" that she intends to tackle the public debt issue "with an iron fist."

- Neither Sunak nor Johnson -

Terrace's appearance on the BBC to a national audience on Sunday will be the first since Kwasi Kwarting revealed his "mini-budget" on September 23.

Since then, the Conservative Party has fallen in opinion polls, with the Labor opposition now leading by 33 points, according to a study published by the YouGov Institute on Thursday, in a precedent not recorded since the 1990s and the era of former Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Another opinion poll published on Friday said more than half of Britons (51 percent) think the prime minister should resign.
In this bleak atmosphere, the conservatives are likely to hold their annual conference disjointed. Neither Rishi Sunak nor former Prime Minister Boris Johnson will travel to Birmingham for the meeting.

After protests throughout the weekend over the cost of living, Kwasi Quarting will address the conference on Monday, while the rally will conclude Wednesday with a speech by Terrace.

Terrasse and the chancellor ruled out a reversal, but agreed on Friday that Britain's General Budget Estimates would submit to the executive branch next week the "first version" of the budget forecast, taking into account the government's costly economic plan.

British media said messages of defiance were already pouring in against the new prime minister, who made some party members regret the Johnson era.

Conversely, others believe that they must join forces to avoid early legislative elections at all costs because it would see the collapse of the Conservative Party.

Rep. Charles Walker warned, "We will cease to exist as a functioning political party" if such elections are held.
