As her mini-Budget fell apart, Liz Truss allegedly discussed reducing the NHS's free cancer care, leading advisors to declare, "She's lost the plot."According to a book detailing Ms. Truss's turbulent 49 days in Downing Street, her aides were informed that the former prime minister was considering significant cuts in order to carry out her tax-cutting program. The proposal, presented in the House of Commons by then-chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, caused havoc in the financial markets and forced the government to wage an intense battle to stay in power.

As stated in the article Be Prime Minister, which appeared in The Independent, advisor Alex Boyd "was told that Truss and Kwarteng were thinking they could still sort out the black hole with severe cuts". The book continued: They informed him, "We've been informed that they're considering terminating cancer treatment on the NHS. They said, "She's lost the plot." "She's yelling at us and the officials that we need to find the money!" She yells back, "It's not true," when we tell her it can't be done. The funds are available. You search for it." For a statement, The Daily Dazzling Dawn has reached out to Ms. Truss's office.Mortgage rates, which had been rising anyway, suddenly shot up after the statement and led to her sacking Mr Kwarteng and bringing in Jeremy Hunt as chancellor. He immediately reversed almost all of the measures.

Days later, Ms Truss quit and became British history's shortest-serving prime minister. She was replaced by Rishi Sunak, who she had defeated in a Tory leadership contest only weeks before.

Ms Truss later lost her seat as MP for South West Norfolk at the 2024 General Election.
