Three members of Ms Truss’s parliamentary party have already broken ranks to call on her to go.
A backbench Conservative MP has said Liz Truss’s political weakness means that new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is now “de facto prime minister”.
Sir Roger Gale, MP for North Thanet, told Sky News: “I think Jeremy Hunt has taken on the job – it’s quite clear that’s he taken on the job – on his own terms. “He’s said he will do it, but he will only do it if he can do what he believes to be necessary to stabilise the markets, to stabilise the economy and to get the show back on track… there is real power in Downing Street, but it’s not in No 10, it’s in No 11.
“If he gets this wrong, then we’re going to go hell in a handcart but if he gets it right, then we can emerge from this, I think, better and stronger and we can start to move forward in the direction that we all really want to go.”
