So I got a job offer back in July that I was supposed to start this week in which I have already signed by me and the new employer, but a week later in July they changed their mind because the person who was supposed to train me happened to be away.

They said they can't do that. I have already left my last job and budgeted my new work income to start this Monday as agreed. I haven't signed the new offer letter, he told me over the phone if I don't sign then I cannot start. Their first week is remote training before being on-site the 2nd week and onwards. What should I do? I just turn up? any advise would be very much appreciated.
