A series of Conservative MPs have called for Liz Truss to step down following a day of almost unparalleled political chaos that left dozens of other Tories unsure about whether they even hold the party whip after rebelling in a Commons vote.
Three more MPs joined the ranks of those saying publicly that the prime minister should step down: Henry Smith, the Crawley MP; Gary Streeter, who represents South West Devon; and Sheryll Murray, MP for South East Cornwall.
