U.K. Government In Chaos. Fractures and Resignations Rock The Conservative Party

 

Daily Mail: Rebels pile pressure on Truss: Suella Braverman QUITS as Home Secretary condemns PM for breaking promises and swipes that people should resign when they make 'mistakes' - and Chief Whip Wendy Morton is also out amid chaos over fracking ban vote 

* Suella Braverman quit as Home Secretary admitting protocol breach by sending email on immigration policy 

* Delivered vicious parting shot at Liz Truss for breaking promises saying people should resign for 'mistakes' 

* Liz Truss has faced a brutal PMQs showdown with Keir Starmer and her own rebellious Conservative MPs 

* Government under threat from revolt on fracking in crunch vote despite declaring it a 'confidence' issue 

* Inflation rose to 10.1 per cent in September from 9.9 per cent in August reaching the highest level for 40 years 

Liz Truss's government and the Conservative Party itself is in the grip of a massive meltdown tonight after Suella Braverman quit as home secretary and a vote on fracking descended into acrimony and accusations of abuse and bullying. 

In yet another day of madness in Westminster Ms Braverman was removed ostensibly for breaching protocol by sending an email from her personal account to a contact revealing details of an announcement on immigration policy. 

But in another hammer blow for the PM's chances of clinging on, she also complained that the government was breaking promises on migration. She swiped that when people made 'mistakes' - something Ms Truss has admitted - the right thing to do was quit.

WNU Editor: The calls for Prime Minister Liz Truss to resign continue to grow among conservative party members. I am still sticking to my prediction from last week that Liz Truss' days as Prime Minister will soon come to an end.
