“Resign!”: British PM Liz Truss defiant in the face of calls from Labour’s Kier Starmer, Londoners

British Prime Minister Liz Truss said on Wednesday she was committed to increasing state pensions in line with the level of inflation and defied calls from opposition lawmakers to resign, saying she was a "fighter" in the face of opposition’s calls for her to resign. Truss's new finance minister, Jeremy Hunt, dismantled Truss's economic policy on Monday and said then that he could not commit to raising state retirement payments in line with inflation in April as had been expected. Asked if Truss had ditched the policy, known as the triple lock because it increases publicly-funded pensions by the highest of earnings, inflation or 2.5 per cent, she told the House of Commons on Wednesday she remained fully committed to it. London residents called on Truss to resign as she desperately tried to reassert authority over the fraught ranks of her Conservative Party amid growing reports that momentum was building to oust her.
