The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, has said the Conservative Party has 'forfeited the right to govern' and it's 'very hard to see how' Prime Minister Liz Truss will survive.
The PM was battling to save her job today after a chaotic 24 hours which saw the Home Secretary, Suella Braverma, step down for breaching the ministerial code ahead of dramatic scenes in Parliament as Tory MPs were ordered to vote against a fracking ban.
Mr Burnham spoke as Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, called for a general election 'now' in a speech at the annual TUC conference being held in Brighton.
