The number of MPs publicly calling for Liz Truss to resign is rising steadily (you can read the live list here). There are also a number of key meetings taking place over the next few days that could seal the Prime Minister’s fate for her. The 1922 executive is due to meet later. I am also told that the influential 92 Group of right-leaning Conservative MPs has invited its members to a meeting on Monday night ‘to discuss the current situation’.
Truss is going to find herself pushed around by all parts of her party in the coming days
The 92 Group might normally be the best group to bolster Truss’s position. The Prime Minister could – and according to some members, should – gatecrash the meeting to set out her stall to like-minded colleagues. But by the time they meet, the members may have concluded that the time for bolstering has passed.
