First Tory MP publicly calls for Liz Truss to quit after admitting the 'game is up'

A senior MP has become the first Tory to publicly call on Liz Truss to resign as Prime Minister following another week of chaos in her government.

Crispin Blunt, MP for Reigate, said the "game is up" for the Tory party leader after she sacked Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor on Friday after his mini-budget led to turmoil on the financial markets.

He told the Channel 4's Andrew Neil Show that he does not think the Prime Minister can survive the current crisis.
