Liz Truss's spokesman has insisted she still wants to lead the Tories into the next election - just as she held crisis talks with the Tories' 1922 Committee chairman Graham Brady just metres away.
The comments come after a dozen Tory MPs publicly called for Ms Truss to resign after weeks of turmoil in No10 and scenes of chaos in the Commons last night.
Earlier the cabinet minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan stopped short of saying the Prime Minister will fight the next election as leader in an interview that raised eyebrows.
