Britain's Prime Minister Liz Truss is hanging the sword of being removed from her post. 13 of his MPs are against him. Liz Truss sacked Finance Minister Quasi Quarteng earlier this week in a bid to defuse the ongoing turmoil in her party and apologized for the government's mistakes in handling the economy. Now his MPs are recommending he be removed from power. But can they be ousted from power?
In fact, in Conservative Party rules, a new leader cannot be challenged through official procedures for at least a year after becoming PM. That's why the MPs have submitted letters of a no-confidence motion against him. If there are too many such letters, the leadership of the 1922 committee—Sir Graham Brady—could change the rules of the election process, creating a shortlist of two candidates. Then one of them will have to become the next prime minister. Then Tory MPs would decide who would be PM and who would be deputy PM without the help of party members. Another option is for Liz Truss—faced with the wrath of her party—to resign herself. Liz Truss could also call for a general election, although this seems like the most unlikely option.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss said, 'I am not going to leave the field'
British Prime Minister Liz Truss on Wednesday described herself as "a warrior rather than a runaway". She issued this statement when she is facing strong opposition from her own Conservative Party over poor economic planning. Newly-appointed Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt overturned his government's tax cuts package decisions less than a month ago. Thereafter Truss participated in the first session of Parliament for the first time. He apologized to Parliament and acknowledged the mistakes he had made during his short tenure as head of the British government.
When Truss was speaking in parliament, some lawmakers shouted, "Resign." Opposition Labor leader Keir Starmer said, "Why is he still here?" To this Truss replied, " 'I am a warrior, not a runaway from the field. I have acted in the national interest to ensure economic stability." Truss's government cut taxes without thought on 23 September, causing a storm in financial markets and the pound's depreciation. The price fell and the cost of borrowing from the British government increased. The Bank of England had to intervene to prevent the crisis from deepening.
Under intense political and economic pressure, the Truss last week replaced Finance Minister Quasi Quarteng with veteran cabinet leader Hunt. On Monday, Hunt scrapped nearly all tax cuts in line with the truce's ambitious energy policy. At the same time, Secretary of State James Cleverly urged Conservative leaders to give Truss another chance, saying, "Mistakes do happen." And change requires humility.
Britain's inflation rate rose to 10.1 percent in September, the highest in 40 years, according to official data released on Wednesday. With opinion polls increasing support for the Labor Party, many Conservative leaders feel that changing the truss is their only hope of avoiding electoral trouble. But the Prime Minister has refused to resign and MPs are divided on this.
Indian-origin British Home Minister Suella Braverman resigned on Wednesday following a "mistake" of using her e-mail for ministerial communications in London. Braverman was appointed Home Minister 43 days earlier when British Prime Minister Liz Truss took office at 10 Downing Street. Earlier, Braverman had a meeting with Prime Minister Truss on Wednesday. Braverman, 42, posted the resignation letter on his Twitter handle. He said, "I made a mistake. I accept the responsibility for this."
