A | London, Oct 20 (UNI) A chaotic day in Parliament has left Prime Minister Liz Truss's survival even more uncertain after the sudden resignation of her Home Secretary and angry scenes during a fracking vote in the Commons.
Opposition MPs alleged some Tories were bullied and manhandled into voting with the government on fracking.
A Minister denied the claim but many Tory MPs ended the day feeling angry and let down by their own party.
Conservative MP Charles Walker said the situation was a "shambles". Visibly furious, he told the BBC there was "no coming back" for the government.
Later he added: "I expect the Prime Minister to resign very soon because she's not up to her job."
Downing Street started on Wednesday believing the Prime Mnister was on a more solid footing after the appointment of Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor -- and his decision to reverse much of Truss's mini-Budget -- appeared to have calmed the markets.
She also survived Prime Minister's Questions -- the weekly question session with MPs -- relatively unscathed.
However, things began to unravel for Truss shortly afterwards.
It seems near impossible that this chaos can be bottled and buried. An implosion feels unavoidable, perhaps imminent, the BBC reported.
The dysfunction is too profound, the outrage among Conservatives too deep-seated for any sense of serenity to be established for as long as Liz Truss is Prime Minister.
Those still supportive of her point out that finding an alternative Prime Minister quickly is difficult and even if this was pulled off, it would be seen as absurd to many around the country.
And so the clamour for a general election would be deafening.
The Prime Minister was forced to hastily cancel a visit to an electronics manufacturer in order to have a meeting with Suella Braverman after her Home Secretary broke government data rules.
The BBC has been told Ms Braverman breached the ministerial code by sending a government document to someone not authorised to receive it.
In her resignation letter, Braverman acknowledged there had been "a technical infringement of the rules". She added: "I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility: I resign."
However, she also took an angry swipe at the government by accusing it of breaking "key pledges" and failing to reduce immigration numbers.
Her departure makes Braverman the shortest-serving Home Secretary since World War II -- and comes less than a week after the resignation of Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor.
Grant Shapps -- who Truss had sacked as Transport Secretary six weeks ago -- became the new Home Secretary.
Shortly after Mr Shapps arrived at the Home Office to start his new job, chaotic scenes began to play out in the Commons, where MPs were voting on fracking.
Labour had tabled a vote which, if passed, would give MPs a say on the government's plans to bring back fracking.
Labour MP Chris Bryant claimed some Conservative MPs had been physically manhandled in the voting lobbies to ensure they supported the government.
Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg also said he would not characterise the events as bullying.
Former Brexit minister Lord David Frost - once an ally of Truss - has called on the Prime Minister to go.
He added: "The Truss government messed things up more badly than anyone could have imagined."
