Liz Truss has met with the chair of the 1922 Committee of backbench Conservatives Sir Graham Brady, Downing Street has said.
Downing Street sources said the Prime Minister invited Brady, the powerful chairman of Committee of backbenchers, to No 10 in what appeared to be a hastily-arranged meeting on Thursday.
The MP entered No 10 after the number of Tory MPs demanding the Prime Minister's resignation doubled within just a couple of hours to a dozen after chaotic scenes in the Commons that followed the resignation of Suella Braverman as home secretary.
