Liz Truss refuses to say sorry for economic turmoil caused by mini-budget

‘I am prepared to take responsibility for things I knew about and can foresee but not things I don’t know about,’ ex-PM says

Liz Truss has refused to apologise for the financial chaos caused by her mini-budget and defiantly refused to take responsibility for things she “did not know about”.

The former PM admitted she would have done things differently if she had known about “how fragile the financial market was”, but she remained unrepentant about her policies.

And she stopped short of apologising to people who suffered financially as a result of the budget that she and her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng presented in September.
