🇬🇧 UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s resignation, Chief Whip Wendy Morton’s attempt to step down and a Tory MP revolt over fracking have prompted new speculation among Conservative lawmakers that under-fire Prime Minister Liz Truss could be forced out of No 10 “within weeks or even days”, according to the British news outlet.

▪️ The outlet quoted an unnamed senior backbencher as saying that “this is the beginning of the end” for Truss. According to the source, “she [the PM] will be gone by Christmas, if not before.”

▪️ The insider was echoed by former Brexit adviser David Frost, who wrote in the article for The Telegraph that the UK Prime Minister “just can’t stay in office.”

🗣 “Liz Truss must leave as soon as possible. Her successor, whoever it is, must be capable, competent, and able to communicate effectively,” Frost claimed.

🤔 The comment comes as pressure on Truss over widely-criticized economic changes continues to grow, with Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and Home Secretary Suella Braverman already leaving the just over six-week-old government.

📹Activists from the Just Stop Oil group have sprayed the Harrods store with orange paint as part of continued calls for the government to cancel new oil contracts.

💬A spokesman for Just Stop Oil declared: "Our government is criminally incompetent and morally bankrupt. They are actively seeking to accelerate fossil fuel production, which will kill millions of people, while failing to address the worst cost-of-living crisis this country has ever seen. Vulnerable people will be freezing to death in their homes this winter, while the government refuses to tax the rich and the big energy companies that are profiting from our misery.”

Previously, two members of the group threw tomato soup on Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" painting in the London National Gallery and glued themselves to the wall.
