Just two out of Nottinghamshire's eight Conservative MPs have confirmed that they still support the Prime Minister after some of their colleagues across the country called on her to go. Following a weekend in which she sacked her former Chancellor, the new one has junked many of Liz Truss' economic plans and one of her ministers clarified that she was "not under a desk" after she was absent in the House of Commons during an urgent question.
Nationally, three Conservative MPs publicly called for Liz Truss to resign on Sunday (October 16), with one of them saying that there were "basic and avoidable" mistakes that she had made. Concerns raised by those calling on Liz Truss to quit included her original plans for the economy, such as the now scrapped idea to abolish the top rate of tax, having "collided with today's tough economic reality."
Nottinghamshire is made up of 11 parliamentary constituencies, eight of which are represented by Conservative MPs. Nottinghamshire Live has asked all of these eight MPs whether they still support the Prime Minister, but many of them have not responded.
