Three Tory MPs tell Liz Truss to quit as Prime Minister faces make-or-break week

Liz Truss and her new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt face a make-or-break week as they try to win support from the markets and the Tory party amid calls for her to go.

As the PM and her Chancellor held crisis talks at Chequers, trying to find a way to stem the economic fallout from the mini-Budget, Crispin Blunt broke ranks to demand Ms Truss go.

He said: “I think the game is up and it’s now a question as to how the succession is managed.”
