Politico Europe reports:

Is it too late now to say sorry? After weeks of market turmoil and countless U-turns, British Prime Minister Liz Truss apologized late Monday for what she called “the mistakes that have been made” during the opening weeks of her already imperiled premiership.

Truss also insisted that she would “definitely” lead her Conservative Party into the next general election, which is expected in 2024.
