A senior MP has become the first Tory to publicly call on Liz Truss to resign as Prime Minister following another week of chaos in her government.
Crispin Blunt, MP for Reigate, said the “game is up” for the Tory party leader after she sacked Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor on Friday after his mini-budget led to turmoil on the financial markets.
He told the Channel 4’s Andrew Neil Show that he does not think the Prime Minister can survive the current crisis.
“I think the game is up and it’s now a question as to how the succession is managed,” he said. Asked how the party will get rid of her, he said: “If there is such a weight of opinion in the parliamentary party that we have to have a change, then it will be effected.
“Exactly how it is done and exactly under what mechanism… but it will happen.”
