Liz Truss is facing a fight of her life to save her premiership after it got off to the worst possible start after she caused chaos in the markets following her mini-budget.
The Prime Minister has been in office just over 40 days but already Conservative MPs are privately and publicly calling for her to resign.
Over the last couple of days she has held crisis meetings with backbench MPs in order to reassure them that she is the right person to take their party forward. In an interview with the BBC she suggested she believes she can weather the storm that has rocked the party in recent weeks, as she vowed to lead the Tories into the next general election.
