During Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, the new prime minister said he stands 'by the manifesto' on fracking.

But the Tory party whips said the motion was actually a vote of confidence in the government and told Conservative MPs they had to vote against it or face being suspended.

However, many of them and their constituents are opposed to fracking and said they could not vote to support fracking, even if the whips saw the vote as something different.As the vote was taking place there were accusations of"bullying" and"manhandling" of Tory MPs who were being told to vote against the motion.

"Whatever their latest position, the truth is that the Tories have shown that they cannot be trusted on the issue of fracking," he said. Ms Truss had to make a number of U-turns after her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng brought in a raft of unfunded tax cuts which unleashed economic turmoil in the UK for weeks.

Mr Sunak has, so far, kept most of those U-turns but the fracking ban is the first Truss policy he has reversed since he became PM on Tuesday.
