Possibility of a no-confidence vote, resignation or early general election as Liz Truss clings on

Liz Truss is battling to keep her position as Prime Minister following a chaotic 24 hours which saw a Cabinet minister resign and an open revolt in the Commons.

The events of Wednesday saw Suella Braverman lash out at Ms Truss's "tumultuous" premiership as she resigned and accused the Government of "breaking key pledges" including on immigration policy. Her departure, coming just five days after Kwasi Kwarteng's sacking as chancellor, means the Prime Minister has lost two people from the four great offices of state within her first six weeks in No 10.

Following Ms Braverman departure, there was speculation that Chief Whip Wendy Morton and her deputy, Craig Whittaker, had resigned in fury at the handling of a vote on a Labour motion over fracking. However, at 9.49pm - more than two hours after the vote - No 10 issued a statement saying both remained in post.
