Liz Truss’s position as Prime Minister appears in danger as some Tory MPs call for her ousting after a disastrous start to her premiership. The Prime Minister sacked her Chancellor and effectively ditched her economic agenda in a bid to restore credibility to her administration after revealing a mini-budget that sent markets into meltdown.
The U-turns have seemingly done little to quash growing disquiet within the party, with MPs Crispin Blunt, Andrew Bridgen and Jamie Wallis calling for her resignation on Sunday. For a prime minister to lose their job they must either resign, their party must lose a general election or they must lose a confidence vote.
But current Conservative Party rules forbid a confidence ballot for another 11 months and the next general election is not due until late 2024.
