LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Liz Truss heads to her Conservative Party conference next week with a packed diary of "meet and greets" to try to win over lawmakers angry over an economic plan that triggered market chaos and badly eroded support.

Less than a month into her tenure as prime minister, Truss is fighting to win backing for a radical economic plan aimed at spurring growth but which instead sent the pound to record lows and the cost of government borrowing spiralling.
