• United Kingdom Liz Truss publicly asks "forgiveness for mistakes"

The Conservative Party has fallen 36 points behind the Labor Party in the polls under the leadership of

Liz Truss

, something that has not happened since the 1997 debacle of the "Tories" against

Tony Blair

.

The Redfield & Wilton poll gives an advantage of 56% to 20% in voting intentions for the party led by

Keir Starmer

, who calls for early elections to end the

"grotesque chaos"

starring the "premier" six weeks after his arrival at Downing Street.


Truss apologized for the first time for "the mistakes made" to his own deputies, in a meeting with the moderate One Nation faction held after the intervention in the House of Commons of the new Secretary of the Treasury Jeremy Hunt, who

canceled almost all the reductions taxes

announced in the controversial "budget of the rich".


The "premier" was barely half an hour sitting in silence behind her head of Economy and starred in another of her sporadic "frightened", like the one last Friday in her first press conference of just eight minutes in Downing Street, to announce the dismissal of Kwasi Kwarteng.


Parliamentary spokeswoman Penny Mordaunt temporarily covered her absence, claiming that "the premier is not hiding under the table."

But

Truss's erratic behavior

fueled criticism from his co-religionists, despite his intention to remain in his position and "seek party unity."


"Truss can not continue in his position"

At least five Conservative deputies have publicly called for the resignation of their leader, although it is estimated that the president of the 1922 Parliamentary Committee,

Graham Brady,

has been able to receive more than a hundred letters requesting the urgent change of the party's rules in order to file a motion of censorship.

Truss met Monday with Brady, the same man who led the "execution squad" that forced

Boris Johnson

to resign in July.


His critics have hung the vitola of "PINO" (Prime Minister By Name Only) on Truss, alleging that it is Jeremy Hunt who has already assumed

the role of "de facto" prime minister

after the fiasco of his "low tax" economic policy. and high growth" in record time.


"His position is untenable," said Tory MP Charles Walker on Monday.

"Liz Truss has caused her colleagues and the country

unnecessary pain and extreme concern

. We don't need a disruptor in Downing Street, what we need is someone to bring us together."


Conservative MP Angela Richardson also openly called for his resignation: "She is 100% responsible for the chaos. She was the one who pushed for the tax cut without any backing that made the markets react. She cannot continue in her position, Although it makes me sad to say it.


Jeremy Hunt himself has risen to the top as a hypothetical prime minister in a unity government that puts an end to the civil war of the "Tories" and allows the lost ground to be recovered in just a month and a half.

Another poll, this one from Delta Poll, gives Labor a 32-point lead (5% to 23%9.


Secretary of Defense

Ben Wallace

is another name on the roulette wheel of possible successors to Liz Truss.

Wallace has conditioned his support for Truss to a 3% increase in the Defense budget, something that Jeremy Hunt himself has questioned in the final review of the accounts that will be made public at the end of the month.


Late on Monday, as if trying to project an image of Cabinet unity, Liz Truss invited her ministers to an informal meeting in Downing Street attended, among others, by Business and Energy Secretary Jacob Ress-Mogg and the incumbent of the Foreign Office James Cleverly.
