Prime minister Liz Truss is battling to save her premiership after less than two months in No 10. Her own MPs are now heaping on the pressure after the bulk of her economic policy was sensationally scrapped by new chancellor Jeremy Hunt, with several publicly calling for her to step down.
Ms Truss made a public apology in the Commons this morning, telling MPs: “I am a fighter, not a quitter". However, her Government has been plunged into further chaos after Suella Braverman resigned as Home Secretary and launched a scathing attack on the Prime Minister.
Tonight, MPs will vote on a Labour motion to ban fracking - but Conservative members have been told the vote is 'not a motion on fracking' but a 'confidence motion' in the prime minister.
