LIZ TRUSS was today meeting with Conservative MPs as she battled to remain as Prime Minister.
Ms Truss was set to hold talks with members of the One Nation Group of Tories this evening after holding a reception with her Cabinet colleagues.
Despite new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s emergency statement on last month’s mini-budget, pressure is still mounting on the Prime Minister after her tax-cutting plans sparked turmoil in the financial markets.
Three Tory rebels have called for her to quit and a fourth, Sir Roger Gale, today suggested that she may review her position in the coming weeks.
A Downing Street source said the mood in No10 was “very purposeful” and the PM was “getting on with the job”.
But some Conservative MPs were saying privately that it was no longer a question of if Ms Truss will be removed but when. One senior Tory MP said: “It’s still up to Liz Truss to come forward before the entire parliamentary party this week and tell them why s h e d e s e r ve s to remain as Prime Minister. Meeting with just the One Nation Group is not good enough.” Another added: “If [Jeremy Hunt] rips up the mini-budget this morning then Liz Truss has to seriously consider her position.”
A former minister said that Tory MPs were “walking around the problem” of removing the PM and there was “no easy route from a to b”.
