Truss facing more trouble from the right of her party

If it looks like chaos - that’s because it is.

Various MPs have said the scenes in Parliament last night were the worst they’ve ever seen. There were hours of confusion about whether the chief whip was still in her job (she decided to stay eventually), reports BBC.

This morning, MPs who didn’t vote with the government have been told they will be disciplined. There is more bad blood brewing.

It also looks like the PM is facing trouble from the right of her party. Suella Braverman’s resignation letter was excoriating. Lord Frost, Boris Johnson's former Brexit negotiator, has added his name to those saying she should resign.

It’s hard to see how Truss can win back authority and credibility in her party after what’s happened this week. She’s going to try, it seems, but she faces a huge uphill struggle.

Two things might work in her favour, still.

One is the lack of an agreed alternative.

The other is fear among Tory MPs about more chaos rocking the markets.
