A chaotic day in Parliament and chaos and turmoil for the PM has left Liz Truss’s survival mode as tories revolt and want her the PM to resign.
Even more uncertain after the sudden resignation of her Suella Braverman the home secretary and angry scenes during a fracking vote in the Commons.
Chaos and turmoil for the PM
Opposition MPs alleged some Tories had been bullied and manhandled into voting with the government on fracking.
A minister denied the claim, but many Tory MPs ended the day feeling angry and let down by their own party.
She also survived Prime Minister’s Questions – the weekly question session with MPs – relatively unscathed.
Tories revolt
Conservative party MP Charles Walker said the situation was a “shambles”.
“I’ve really not seen anything like tonight”, adding that there was “no coming back” for the government.
Later he added: “I expect the prime minister to resign very soon because she’s not up to her job.”

The appointment of Jeremy Hunt as chancellor – and his decision to reverse much of Ms Truss’s mini-Budget – appeared to have calmed the markets.
