quite a week. hello, hi guys. we are probably still a few minutes late. 0h, 0k. we will reverse almost all the tax measures. gone, gone. a complete reversal. gone, gone, gone. clearly trussonomics has gone. he has locked her in - the attic and taken over. no authority, no credibility. what is the point of her government? i will lead the conservatives . into the next general election. definitely? well, look. she chuckles. i don t think there is the opportunity to make any more mistakes. i have made mistakes. suella braverman has resigned. i m getting fed up with this. i saw members being physically manhandled. it is a shambles i and the disgrace. an element of confusion. turmoil. what is going on? liz truss is currently- meeting sir graham brady. i am resigning as leader
i am livid and i really shouldn t say this but i hope all those people that put liz truss in number 10, i hope it was worth it. i hope it was worth it for the ministerial red box, i hope it was worth it to sit round the cabinet table, because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary. the conservative mp johnny mercer retweeted that maria caulfield wrote:. the confusion deepened further after reports that chief whip and deputy whip were saying they had resigned we were then told they hadn t. and the bbc s news at ten wanted to clear one thing up. is this government functioning in any meaningful way? no. and this day, when the government was self combusting, was also a day of profound worry for many.
the direct decisions of the mini budget to cut taxes elsewhere or from the economic impact, the unwanted economic impact of all this uncertainty. let s consider the point we reached, tax cuts were largely gone, the spending cuts were coming, and liz truss was pushing on. her party chairman was telling us she is bringing the party together. and on monday evening, she met a group of tory mps, the times reported a relatively calm reception. 0ne mp told the bbc. it s the first time i heard a corpse deliver it s own eulogy. by this point number 10 had also suggested a bbc interview took place and our political editor chris mason was asking the questions.
prime minister, who is to blame for this mess? first of all, i do want to accept responsibility and say sorry for the mistakes that have been made. sorry, said liz truss. but as chris noted afterwards. she knows and her staff know and the dogs in the street know she is seriously imperilled at the moment. reporter: liz truss insists i she will lead the conservatives into the next election despite calls from within her own party to quit as prime minister. tuesday morning would offer no respite, normally supportive papers showed no mercy. the sun called liz truss the ghost pm. the mail declared in office but not in power and below it described a haunted prime minister. the polling was unremitting. yougov found truss s approval rating was 10%, the lowest rating it had ever recorded for a prime minister, and you might think those kind of numbers would be the end of the matter. not so, said the defence
on it, to see how much i have used. it is all above my price range. it doesn t feel like living. thursday brought the morning after the night before and it began with calls for calm. well, it is quite clear that there is a lot of turmoil in the party but we all need to keep calm heads and work to resolve it and i m confident we can. but the cracks were soon showing. is liz truss the best that the conservative party has? the best person to conservative party can offer to be prime minister today? liz truss is the prime minister because our system of selection. i understand why she is the prime minister. i m asking you. we continue to support her. and through the morning, the number of mps calling for liz truss to go was increasing. some were even releasing letters on social media. sky news began keeping an on screen tally.
