Liz Truss looks like she is a leader ‘totally out of her depth’, according to voters in Manchester, with the vast majority calling for a general election.
This morning, new chancellor Jeremy Hunt — already Ms Truss’ second after a matter of weeks — revealed a swathe of U-turns and reversals of the disastrous mini-budget Kwasi Kwarteng announced last month. Many of the measures go against Ms Truss’ ‘pro-growth’ campaign she won the Tory leadership contest with.
It means there is a mounting feeling among politicians, commentators, and voters, that the Prime Minister is walking wounded, and entering her final few weeks of office. In the aftermath of the chancellor’s statement, those calls only intensified.
