On Tuesday, UK's Conservative Party examined the latest poll of Tory party members which showed that more than 50% of the members want to turn on the current Prime Minister Liz Truss.

It showed that more than half reflected that Liz Truss should resign while a staggering 83% expressed that she is doing a bad job. The results were released after the Prime Minister survived a Cabinet meeting.

The  Official Spokesman of Truss said: "Her view is she needs to be focused on what is right for the country rather than on any internal discussions among the party at the moment.

"She is conscious these are globally difficult times and the UK is in a difficult situation economically."

Several discussions dominated the cabinet due to the latest economic developments in the country, especially after the new Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt changed the plans of Truss.

The Spokesman was asked about whether ministers showed their support to Truss, and he responded: "Certainly ministers were very involved in the discussions around preparations for the medium-term fiscal plan."

In the same context, YouGov survey of 530 Conservative Party members, on Monday and Tuesday, revealed that 55% say that Truss should resign and only 38% are convinced with her.

39% of those who voted for Truss in her party said she should quit, compared with 57% who said she should not.

Part of the 83% said she was doing so bad as Conservative leader, compared with 15% who said she was doing well while 2% are being unsure.
