A member of the public interviewed by the BBC has summed up the mood of a nation after another day of Tory chaos.
As prime minister Liz Truss struggles to remain in office after dumping her economic agenda following her disastrous mini-budget, the BBC News at Ten spoke to voters in the bellwether Nuneaton constituency in Warwickshire.
As part of a series of “vox pops” conducted by political correspondent Alex Forsyth, Sheila and Linda shared their frustration about the current state of British politics – and Truss in particular.
Sheila said: “What the cockeyed hell is going on? We’ve had one, Boris (Johnson), out. Now it’s her, she’s no good either.
“Haven’t they got one good one between them all?”
She added: “I don’t believe anything she says now.”
Linda added: “I don’t think she’s capable of running the country and why they voted her in, I have no idea.”
On Monday, the prime minister torched her low-tax economic agenda.
New chancellor Jeremy Hunt scaled back the energy support package and ditched “almost all” the tax cuts announced by his predecessor, Kwasi Kwarteng, after it crashed the markets.
In a bizarre parliamentary session, Truss sat next to her new chancellor in the Commons, staring straight ahead as he ditched huge chunks of her plan.
After around 30 minutes, she walked out without having said a word.
Truss later gave an interview to the BBC where she vowed to lead the Tories into the next general election as she apologised for her “mistakes” that came about because the party went “too far, too fast”.
