in the space of hours, the chief whip resigned, grant shapps is now the home secretary and mp's werehandled in the corridors of westminster. to say there is anarchy in the tory party and u.k. politics would be an understatement, but let's listen to the leader of the opposition. >> the two-year energy freeze gone, tax-free shopping gone, economic credibility gone. and the former chancellor is not as well. manus: labour leader keir starmer almost rehearsing the narrative. i have never seen political chaos like this, does truss need to reinstate confidence in the u.k.? nina: i don't know what the prime minister could do to restore confidence. as you say, the stories out of the u.k. government, most recently the one about mp's possibly being bullied into voting are almost surreal. it is hard to believe in this context we are speaking about the u.k. it's not my place to predict how long the current government will stay in power but the signs aren't good if you look at every front page of every u.k. publication. they are all counting down, some say days not even weeks of liz truss being in

some big figures there like michael gove and grant shapps have been quite on the fringes this week.ts who, who is upset about what — they could be quite organised quite quickly and that would be a real problem for the prime minister. so it really is quite tricky. and the big hurdle she has next is what to do about benefits, how do you increase benefits in the next financial year? increase benefits in the next financialyear? do increase benefits in the next financial year? do you link them to inflation, which obviously is running high at the moment? you could end up with about a 10% increase in benefits payments, or do you link them to the average increase in earnings? she's more minded to go that way, because i think the argument she would make is that actually by raising the wages of people going to work, thus the fair way to do it. a lot of her cabinet colleagues have made clear that they wanted to be linked to inflation. does she really want to have a big row about this, or will shejust have to have a big row about this, or will she just have to take the financial hit? and it wil

but we are where we are and if grant shapps is appointed, it will be a good thing.

if you are looking for a tipping point, i think it is probably, you mentioned grant shapps's rebelliony one of the most established formidable cabinet ministers of the last ten years. he has served all of the pro—ministers we have had and i think he led the opposition in the way that he did admit that the a5p tax cut was doomed. lets way that he did admit that the asp tax cut was doomed.— way that he did admit that the asp tax cut was doomed. lets talk about olitical tax cut was doomed. lets talk about political confidence _ tax cut was doomed. lets talk about political confidence and _ tax cut was doomed. lets talk about political confidence and market - political confidence and market confidence. how damaged do you think liz truss and kwasi kwarteng are by this whole episode and how much of the political capital do you think they can get back via this u—turn? 0bviously, they will be looking to see whether that is reflected in any poll? see whether that is reflected in any oll? ., ., ., , , poll? the extent of damage depends on whether they _ poll? the extent of damage depends on whet

replacing her in the job is former transport secretary grant shapps. grant did not support micro and becoming prime minister, he was one of many mps who had thrown their support behind rishi sunak, the former chancellor went gone on during the leadership contest that liz truss policies would cause a crisis and potentially a run on the pound. it turns out that he was right. nonetheless, liz truss remains prime minister and in her resignation letters suella braverman said she was resigning because she had inadvertently sent the document from her personal e—mail and the technical interference of the rules and will be conducted from secure service. she went on to at that i have concerns about the direction of this government we have broken pledges that were promised and hoping that things will magically come around is not serious politics and i have made a mistake and i accept responsibility and i resigned. and perhaps the prime minister should perhaps the prime minister should perhaps do the same. we are those extraordinary reports from opposition mps clai

his fellow tory mp grant shapps had a newjob.in in the brexit referendum, he is considered a moderate. recently he has been publicly criticising liz truss over her tax cuts. now he was in her cabinet. evening, everyone, um, obviously it has been turbulent times. mr shapps spoke to the press for a minute and 42 seconds. he repeatedly mentioned the chancellorjeremy hunt and at no point did he mention liz truss. the whole week was becoming a test of her leadership and so as wednesday afternoon turned to evening, i wanted an assessment of how she had done in week so far. few people are better plugged in to the tory mps than the daily telegraph's christopher hope. his newsletter and podcast and whatsapp are full of the thoughts of mps and i pulled together some clips from the week to show him. i have decided the basic rate i of income tax will remain 20%. look at the mask on liz truss's face. this isjeremy hunt dismantling everything liz truss has been saying. it is a political disembowelment i have never seen in 20 years covering bri
