A senior Tory thinks the question of whether Truss should remain Prime Minister is ‘incredibly difficult

Conservative MP Alicia Kearns called the decision to keep Liz Truss as Prime Minister “incredibly difficult.”

When asked on Times Radio if Ms Truss could or should stay at Number 10, Ms Kearns, the new chairperson of the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, said: “Ultimately, it is a very difficult one because, as you know, we’ve had questions around our moral competency.”

“We’ve now got questions around our fiscal competency.”

She added: “I don’t want further questions around even our ability to continue to govern as a party and our ability to stay united. It’s an incredibly difficult one, and ultimately I need to listen to colleagues and speak to colleagues over the coming days.

“But do we need a fundamental reset? Without question.”

Ms Kearns said the government’s problems are linked to policy and not just communication, warning that “dogmatism scares people”.

Asked whether the government’s main problem is how it has communicated, the senior Tory said: “Do I think the government has a fundamental communications problem? Yes, I do.

“But I think it comes ultimately from the policy decisions they make. In a time of crisis, the public wants to see pragmatism.

“They want to see fiscal responsibility, and they want to see compassion.”
