ICYMI Newsnight's Political Editor nicholaswatt examined the fallout from the Chancellor's Mini-Budget & what options the Government has left to avert a full-blown crisis
Some, who describe themselves as "critical but sensible", are dismissing "idiotic talk" of trying to oust the prime minister.
The question is whether the chancellor will be forced to U-turn on any of Friday's measures before then. One rapidly approaching date in Mr Kwarteng's diary is his speech to the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham on Monday. Hardly the backdrop he would have wanted to his first as chancellor. A former cabinet minister points out that just 50 Tory MPs backed Ms Truss as their first choice in the leadership race, so she doesn't enjoy the well of support that Boris Johnson had.But self-preservation often kicks in at a time of crisis and Tory MPs fear a full-blown economic crisis could drive them out of power.
