Liz Truss cannot survive any more mistakes, a minister has warned.
Armed forces minister James Heappey conceded Liz Truss is in a perilous position as prime minister.
“I suspect given how skittish our politics are at the moment, not very many,” he said. Pressed on how many, he added: “I don’t think there’s the opportunity to make any more mistakes.”
It comes as Ms Truss insisted that she will lead the Conservatives into the next general election, in spite of a new poll showing that her party faces a wipeout.
Speaking to the BBC, she apologised for “mistakes” admitting she went “too far too fast” with reforms that triggered economic turmoil.
However, she said that she was “completely committed to delivering for this country” despite questions over who was now in control of government policy.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Hunt said Ms Truss will remain prime minister at Christmas, despite a growing campaign among Tory backbenchers to oust her.
