A senior Conservative MP has warned Liz Truss has "12 hours" to save her job as her government is on the brink of collapse following another chaotic day at Westminster.
The Prime Minister was forced to replace her Home Secretary Suella Braverman on Wednesday after the right-wing MP resigned over sending a confidential document from her personal email. She was replaced by Truss critic Grant Shapps.
In the House of Commons speculation grew into the evening 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. At 9.49pm - more than two hours after the vote - No 10 issued a statement saying both remained in post.
