10:41 pm
get your mps on board and behind you, then you are not going to carry your policies through because you have an in—built rebellion. interestingly, the second part of the headline in the telegraph is tory rebels plot to oust the prime minister within days. it is quite possible, quite likely that there will be a knock on her door in the early part of next week. i think people will wait to see what happens with the markets, particularly over the weekend and what the papers are saying but they won't make pleasant reading for the prime minister over breakfast tomorrow morning. it is when, breakfast tomorrow morning. it is when. not — breakfast tomorrow morning. it is when. not if _ breakfast tomorrow morning. it is when, not if the _ breakfast tomorrow morning. it is when, not if the sense you get from this front page, kevin. how and when, they say within days, but how are they going to do it? that when, they say within days, but how are they going to do it?— are they going to do it? that is the million dollar _ are they going to do it? that is the million dollar question. _ are they going to do it? that is the million dollar question. there - are they going to do it? that is the million dollar question. there is i are they going to do it? that is the j million dollar question. there is no easy way— million dollar question. there is no easy way of— million dollar question. there is no easy way of getting rid of liz truss — easy way of getting rid of liz truss it _ easy way of getting rid of liz truss. it is going to require bending _ truss. it is going to require bending the rules, in terms of how
