Liz Truss is under increasing pressure to quit as prime minister after abandoning the major elements of her economic vision.
Truss’s credibility has never been more fragile after she was forced to install Jeremy Hunt as chancellor following the sacking of her political ally Kwasi Kwarteng.
In his first major act as chancellor, Hunt took an axe to the mini-budget and undid the core pillars of Truss’s economic strategy in a bid to reassure the financial markets.
While Hunt may have achieved his aim, it has left Tory MPs feeling that Truss has categorically failed in hers.
Some believe that Hunt is now the one in charge and that she no longer has a mandate to govern.
Here are all the Tory MPs who have called on Truss to quit.
Crispin Blunt
Former minister Crispin Blunt was the first of Truss’s colleagues to tell her to quit.
He said the “game is up” for Truss because she is “too unpopular” with the public.
“Most MPs clearly understand that prime minister Truss’s authority is now fatally damaged,” he said.
“She has to go now as she cannot win nor sustain the confidence of her colleagues, far less the public and a relentless media.
“It’s a blinding glimpse of the obvious that this cannot and should not continue.”
Andrew Bridgen
Vocal backbencher Andrew Bridgen told the Daily Telegraph that the Conservative party “cannot carry on like this”.
The MP for North West Leicestershire, who also sent a letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson, said: “Our country, its people and our party deserve better,” he said.
Jamie Wallis
Jamie Wallis, who was elected as the MP for Bridgend in 2019, called on Truss to stand down, arguing that she could not “unite” the party.
In a letter to the prime minister, Wallis hit out at the “very basic and avoidable errors in your approach”.
“Your decision to appoint historical supporters of you personally rather than the most qualified politicians available in the party has led to decisions that have done clear and obvious harm to the British economy.”
Angela Richardson
Angela Richardson became the fourth Tory MP to demand Truss’ resignation on Monday when she said the problems with the public finances were “100% down to the prime minister”.
In an interview with Times Radio, the MP for Guildford said: “I just don’t think that it’s tenable that she can stay in her position any longer. And I’m very sad to have to say that.”
Charles Walker
Veteran backbencher Charles Walker called on Truss to go shortly after she sat silently next to Jeremy Hunt as he delivered a statement to MPs on Monday.
Walker told Sky News’ Beth Rigby: “I think her position is untenable. She has put colleagues, the country, through a huge amount of unnecessary pain and upset and worry.
“If she doesn’t go right now, it will not be her decision.”
Steve Double
The MP for St Austell and Newquay told Times Radio that Truss should “consider her position” as the calls for her to quit gathered pace.
William Wragg
The Hazel Grove MP told MPs that he had submitted a letter of no confidence in the prime minister with Sir Graham Brady, the chair of the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers.
Wragg is a vice-chair of the committee as well as chair of the public administration and constitutional affairs select committee.
Gary Streeter
Writing on Twitter, the South West Devon MP said the Tories faced “slaughter” at the next election if they do not remove Truss from office.
Sheryll Murray
The ninth MP to break ranks, Murray revealed she had submitted a letter of no confidence in Truss to Sir Graham Brady in the wake of the chaotic scenes in parliament over the Commons vote on fracking.
