Liz Truss is being warned by some Conservative MPs that she could face another rebellion if she decides to make real-terms cuts to benefits to help pay for her tax cutting package and plans for growth. On Monday the Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, announced a dramatic U-turn on the government's proposal to scrap the top rate of tax after a series of senior Tories criticised the measure. Speaking to Today鈥檚 Nick Robinson, from the Conservative Party in Birmingham, the Prime Minister insisted she was "listening" to people's concerns after last month's mini-Budget but she refused to rule out raising benefits by less than inflation.
