Speaking to Sky News, Coffey underscored Prime Minister Liz Truss's readiness to "hit the ground running" to help the British citizens overcome the hardships. She also expressed her confidence that the previously announced aid package worth £130 billion "will reassure people when they hear what will be offered."
