Liz Truss sacked almost every minister who backed Rishi Sunak 👉 So it is perhaps no surprise that some supporters of Sunak are already talking about deposing Truss and replacing her with the former chancellor 🔴 Analysis from HugoGye

She sacked almost every minister who backed her rival Rishi Sunak, reasoning that only true believers could be trusted to help deliver her radical agenda.supporters of Mr Sunak are already talking about deposing Ms Truss and replacing her with the former chancellorBut it is perhaps even more worrying for the Prime Minister that she is starting to clash with some of her friends too.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a true believer in Ms Truss’s mission to shrink the state and cut taxes. As Business Secretary, he has been entrusted with the crucial task of rewiring Britain’s energy supply..
