A chaotic day in Parliament has left Liz Truss’s survival even more uncertain after the sudden resignation of her home secretary and angry scenes during a fracking vote in the Commons.
Opposition MPs alleged some Tories were bullied and manhandled into voting with the government on fracking.
A minister denied the claim, but many Tory MPs ended the day feeling angry and let down by their own party.
Conservative MP Charles Walker said the situation was a “shambles”.
Visibly furious, he told the BBC there was “no coming back” for the government.
Later he added: “I expect the prime minister to resign very soon because she’s not up to her job.” [BBC]
