As Truss is further losing its grip on the public's trust, especially in light of her recent missteps which heavily tainted her premiership, Wales has been issuing calls to break free from the UK monarchy and claim its independence.

Sources reported on Saturday that thousands took on the streets of Cardiff in support of Welsh independence from the UK.

Demonstrators began to march at noon on Saturday in the capital of Wales, Cardiff, local sources reported. The protesters carried flags and banners that read "Independence".

Among the protesters included actor Julian Lewis Jones, who plays Boremund Baratheon in the hit HBO series "House of the Dragon", according to the Wales Online news portal.

Last July, a similar protest of 8,000 demonstrators took place in the city of Wrexham in the north of Wales.

In recent months, the situation in the UK is further drifting toward a full-blown crisis, especially since the energy crisis and the surging cost of living have been out of proportion lately.

On September 26, it was reported that the British pound plummeted to its lowest in 41 years against the US Dollar.

The plunge came after an announcement made the week prior by UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng of a new mini-budget, revealing huge tax cuts funded by a significant increase in borrowing.

UK PM Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng used the tax-slashing plans to propose radical tax cuts without suggesting how they would be paid for.

Brits expressed outrage at the idea that bankers will be allowed to put a hold on bonuses and company owners delay dividends until the new tax year, once the rate decreases.

Tory members urged new PM Liz Truss to kick Kwarteng to the curb as they viewed her new government formation as a situation in dire straits.

But Truss remained defensive of the mini-budget which caused her to lose public confidence, with a survey reporting on September 30 that more than half of Brittons think Liz Truss should resign.

Since former PM Boris Johnson had left office following a slew of scandals, expectations were set too high for Truss who can barely deal with important issues like inflation and the high costs of living.

Prior to her victory over finance minister Rishi Sunak, Truss had promised to “deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy" amid predictions of a recession in the UK.  

But it is clear now that the UK wants her out as Truss continues to struggle to address the real needs of the people.
