Liz Truss told to quit by three Tory MPs as PM faces fight for survival
17.10.2022 - 01:43 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Three Tory MPs have told Liz Truss to quit over the economic chaos caused by her mini-Budget.
In a chaotic week for the Government and the country, Jeremy Hunt replaced Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor, but that has not stopped calls from within the Conservative party for Truss to go.
As the PM and her new Chancellor held crisis talks at Chequers, trying to find a way to reverse the fall out 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.”
On Channel 4 ’s Andrew Neil Show, he said if enough Tory MPs turned against her, the PM would go. He said “Exactly how it is done, exactly under what mechanism... but it will happen.”
Within hours, a second Tory MP, Andrew Bridgen, called on Ms Truss to quit. He told The Telegraph: “We cannot go on like this. Our country, its people and our party deserve better.”
And last night a third Tory MP, Jamie Wallis, revealed he had written to the PM asking her to stand down.
He posted: “The government has undermined Britain’s economic credibility & fractured our Party irreparably. Enough is enough.”
Lord Frost, who backed Ms Truss’s leadership bid, messaged the Thatcherite Conservative Way Forward group of MPs, saying: “It would be good to meet”. He added: “Things look bleak.”
Another Tory MP, Robert Halfon, accused the government of acting like “libertarian jihadists” who had “treated the whole country as laboratory mice”. Talking on Sky News, he declined to deny MPs wanted a new leader.
He said: “Colleagues are unhappy. We’re all talking to see what can be done about it.”
Tory heavyweights also waded in, ex- Chancellor George Osborne saying: “She is PINO – Prime Minister In Name Only.”
