A Tory former minister has broken ranks to call for Liz Truss to resign - saying the "game is up" for the crisis-hit Prime Minister.
Veteran backbencher Crispin Blunt said he didn't think Ms Truss could survive the current crisis, which has left her authority in tatters after only five weeks in the job.
The PM is fighting for her political life after sacking her Chancellor and tearing up key parts of her tax-cutting agenda to calm the economic turmoil.
