It is time for Liz Truss to go, Nicola Sturgeon has said after the British prime minister sacked her chancellor and U-turned on a cut to corporation tax.

Liz Truss relieved Kwasi Kwarteng of his duties on Friday, with the ex-chancellor dashing back from a meeting of finance ministers in Washington to learn his fate.
