In a statement, the Treasury said the chancellor was speeding up the plan, which will be released in full on October 31. It said it followed conversations with Prime Minister Liz Truss over the weekend and meetings with the governor of the Bank of England and the head of the Office of Debt Management on Sunday evening. Latest politics: More turnaround expected on mini-budget Ms Truss is facing calls to resign from three Tory MPs following the economic turmoil following the mini-budget.

Tory MPs Crispin Blunt, Andrew Bridgen and Jamie Wallis have publicly stated they believe he should resign, while Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer has asked Ms Truss to confront parliament accusing her of "being in office but not in power".

The Daily Mail reports that Tory lawmakers will try to oust Ms Truss this weekend, with more than 100 ready to submit letters of no confidence.

Last week Truss fired his chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and replaced him with Jeremy Hunt because he threw away most of the mini-budget.

Mr Hunt insisted the prime minister was still in charge during media appearances over the weekend, although he said a tough package of tax hikes and spending cuts was needed to stabilize the UK economy.

Sir Keir said Ms Truss' brief press conference to explain her latest round on Friday "completely failed to answer any questions the public had".

He said: "Mortgages are rising and the cost of living crisis is becoming increasingly acute. The Conservative government is currently the biggest threat to the security and finances of families across the country.

"That's why the prime minister has to come to parliament on Monday, to explain what he plans to change the situation.

"If the prime minister doesn't want to take questions from reporters, Liz Truss should at least take it from MPs representing families whose livelihoods are at stake."

In a sign of division within the Tory Party, former culture secretary Nadine Dorries criticized her colleagues.

"I can't imagine a single G7 country deeming us worthy of a place at the table," he tweeted.

"The electorally successful firing of one PM, the shameful plot to remove another by those who didn't get their way first destabilize our economy and reputation."
