Jeremy Hunt has said he believes Liz Truss will still be prime minister at Christmas - despite five Conservative MPs already publicly calling for her to leave Number 10.

In an interview with Sky News political editor Beth Rigby, the new chancellor called on Conservative MPs to"give her a chance".

He also ruled out becoming prime minister himself, saying:"I rule it out, Mrs Hunt rules it out, three Hunt children rule it out." Asked"what is the point of Liz Truss", he replied:"She's prime minister, she has got important decisions to make. People who want her to go need to ask themselves whether more political instability is going to help keep mortgage rates down, keep interest rates down, calm the markets.

"I don't think political instability is the answer. She's been prime minister for about five weeks and we need to give her a chance."

is it true that trussliz told Conservatives MP that she will get rid of them all by calling a general election if they got rid of her?!? JustAsking

He's aving a laugh, she's had her chance n he's just as bad. She shud b gone b4 Xmas I hope n so shud the Tories.

Says a guy who has just been appointed. Sick circle. He doesn’t give a rats $$ about chancellor. He wants that PM position. Quickest he will backstab Liz.

General election.. ppl never voted her in... period!

Her party should back her they are just as much fault as she is. It is embaressing that there is in house fighting pulltogether standasone

BethRigby “I would rather have a leader who listens, learns and changes” I wouldn’t! I’d rather have a PM that knows what they are doing! This isn’t a training ground, it’s the real deal. No place for utter incompetence

Untenable

markaustintv I highly doubt Liz Truss is making it until Christmas.

Brexit, Brexit Brexit,0h what problems Brexit brings the Boris took you out of the EU and you now see the problems you have,the Truss has the same BS with all her promises she cannot fulfill how long do you think she will last you will be soon like Italy changing PMs each year👇

lol, she'll be out before nov

She's struggling to make it past Halloween at this point

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

RashellTamina Hardly an endorsement!

Hell no are they crazy

katy_scarletta Give her another chance to totally tank the economy? My pension has been really hammered. My children & future grandchildren will be paying off the debt caused by Truss. Many people could be made homeless. All of this was totally unnecessary & should have gone via OBR

Nope ! General election now

So she'll be out by xmas and he wants the job. The big question is how long had she been under that desk, and what was she doing under there

She’s had a chance… and monumentally blown it. This isn’t work experience. It’s people’s livelihoods and futures.

Well that’s a kiss of death if ever I heard one close the door on the way out Liz

😂😂😂 He’s running the country anyway by the looks of it.

We should be allowed to call a general election some of the uk voted the clowns in

Excellent. How low can Tory polling go? It's currently 19% But with Liz sat on the bench at PMQs every week on medication, staring into the void with drool dribbling down her chin - we might just see single digits!

No Tory gets a chance there all lying 🐀🐀

I saw a Bernard Matthews in Aldi that had more chance of being around at Christmas

Who is running Government

She is so shit and so far out her depth, it’s laughable

Your turn her turn when is public turn ?

He can F O who put that Hunt in charge!!!

Anyone placing bets on this?

Kiss of death.

Give him time to sharpen his knife. No way she can last until Christmas!

Time for re-Nationalisation. Foreign companies running Britain needs to stop now.

And he's dumping her right before New Years. Age old story...💔🤭

Turkey's voting for Christmas now!

Is it in the best interests of our country to have as a PM someone the world, most conservative MPs and voters cannot take seriously. It feels cruel to make her endure this humiliation.

“Please give her a chance” just exudes power doesn’t it!

Party before country yet again

Because he want the job for abit and to make himself relevant.... so he can get the job next.

A chance ffs

She's the PM, not a school prefect. Everything which is now being delivered, she doesn't support.

Enough is enough

tories and her have to go and owe this country a massive apology big time, its disgrace , in the end many low income middle and vulnerable people will pay the price of this

Whose the Chancellor this week?

Someone wants to secure his new appointment 🤣

The Tory Muppet Show needs to come to an end before they damage this country any further. GeneralElectionNow

No Jeremy is back on the gravy train he doesn't want it to stop....GeneralElectionNow GeneralElection2022

She will remain as Prime Minister all the way until the General Election. Don't believe all the early demise bullshit.

This will age well

Does he think this is a game of monopoly.

Yep...she's gone by end of tomorrow

This sounds like playground games. It’s serious. It should be about the people not a grubby little bunch of politicians worrying about their jobs. Call general election now

Truss give her a chance No Way

Fat chance.

I hope not for her sake as well as ours. She doesn't look like she can take anymore

It’ll be announced tomorrow, due to ill- health.

Give her a chance lol , make her sound like shes a youth training scheme.... what a shambles

Another u turn

Who exactly is the PM in this scenario?

I give her a turkey’s chance at Christmas.

As long as she doesn't open her mouth between now and then.

Not a chance.

She will be gone tomorrow then?

The Conservatives ‘giving her a chance’ means even more misery for the country. They are happy to put the country through this instead of doing the decent thing and calling a general election. They are disgusting. GeneralElectionNow

Yes truss keep going we have faith in you making the Tories even more unelectable.. signed a labour voter

Aye and I’ll be a skinny bird!!!! Wise up Jeremy.

Et Tu Brutus!

How on earth does the chancellor decide to inform us that the PM will still be in place at Christmas… and there’s been no coup

Fucking low bar init?

dmrider She had her chance. She botched it!

No she should go now .

What he means is to give him a chance 'cos if she goes, then he goes...

That means she probably has a week at best. 😂

Pmsl the other one said that the other day, next day he was gone!

End of tomorrow at this rate

Is this the same as Kwasi being Chancellor and not going anyway too?

Bring back Boris just in time for the Xmas party 😂😂

She won’t

😂😂😂

He kind of has to say that, he's only been in the job 5 minutes.... give it a few weeks when he's entrenched and then the truth will come out...

Bet she’s not
