Former Brexit minister at Johnson’s stage asks Truss to resign

Oct. 20 () –

The former British minister for Brexit David Frost during the Boris Johnson period has demanded that the British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, resign after the UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has left the Executive.

“Truss simply cannot remain in office for a very obvious reason: he campaigned against the policies he is now implementing,” he said in a letter published in the newspaper ‘The Telegraph’, where he also compared the prime minister to Enrique VI for being a “weak figure” and “unable to control the forces around her”.

Apart from the resignation of the Home Secretary, chaos broke out in Parliament this Wednesday after at least forty Conservative MPs abstained or did not decide to vote on a motion presented by Labor on ‘fracking’, practice used to extract fossil fuels that are in the subsoil.

Despite the fact that no ‘tory’ has voted against, this movement has been considered a ‘de facto’ vote of confidence for the prime minister and her government in the face of the crisis unleashed by Truss’s economic policy. Some conservative parliamentarians have denounced intimidation in the vote, according to the BBC network.

In this sense, the Labor MP Chris Bryant has urged an investigation within Parliament after several scenes in which the Business Minister, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and the Deputy Prime Minister, Therese Coffey, heatedly pressured their colleagues to support Truss.

As a result, at first, several sources have informed the BBC that the head of the parliamentary group, Wendy Morotn, and her deputy, Craig Whittaker, had been suspended from their post after breaking party discipline, although it has subsequently been confirmed who remain at their posts.

Conservative MP Charles Walker, for his part, has assured that he is “furious” and that his patience with his party has run out, emphasizing that this behavior is “inexcusable” and that “there is no turning back” for the British Government .
