Three Tory MPs call on Liz Truss to quit

Former minister Crispin Blunt MP told Sky News it was “blindingly obvious” prime minister Liz Truss had to stand down following the disastrous mini-budget

He said many of his colleagues felt the same but were not willing to go public yet.

Mr Blunt said the public looked at Ms Truss with “a mixture of pity and contempt”.

Rishi Sunak was on obvious replacement, he added.

Following the interview, two more MPs came out against Truss.
