Chris Bryant, a lawmaker from the opposition Labour Party, said he “saw members being physically manhandled ... and being bullied.” Conservative officials denied there was manhandling.
I did not manhandle that Member of Parliament.
International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan, sent onto the airwaves Thursday morning to defend the government, insisted the administration was providing “stability.” But she was unable to guarantee Truss would lead the party into the next election.
“At the moment, I think that’s the case,” she said.
These “DEFENSES”! Ho-ho-ho. “Truss is afraid to answer questions and is cowering under her desk.” Defense: “The Prime Minister is not cowering under her desk.” Lol

In a major blow, Home Secretary Suella Braverman resigned Wednesday after breaching rules by sending an official document from her personal email account. She used her resignation letter to lambaste Truss, saying she had “concerns about the direction of this government.”
“The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes,” she said in a thinly veiled dig at Truss.
…
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer accused the Conservatives of lacking “the basic patriotic duty to keep the British people out of their own pathetic squabbles.”
He said that amid a worsening a cost-of-living crisis, “Britain cannot afford the chaos of the Conservatives anymore. We need a general election now.”

Under other circumstances a new general election would be held immediately without question. However these are present circumstances and no new election need be held until 2024. Under previous circumstances Labour had not a plausible PM to contend the Tories. I think Starmer is viewed as more plausible—but I am not sure. But Starmer is unquestionably correct that Britain’s welfare is on the line here, not just a party’s. I don’t know that there is any outcome as likely than that the Tories will try, try again to choose a replacement for Truss who is competent and who has the fortitude to lead a nation until 2024.
