Actually I don’t blame them, it will send the most powerful message if the conference is boycotted by large numbers of MPs.

It is said that a lot of backbenchers are going to stay away.

We shall see. I would have thought that unlikely, but honestly who knows.

Rishi Sunak, Sajid Javid, David Davis and Mel Stride are not attending Conference - that must be a first for senior MPs.

I think they're cowards not to attend - they should go and say why they are not supporting Truss & Kwarteng instead of ducking out.

What a shower!

How on earth can Truss face her supporters - because that is what her audience will largely of - those who voted for her.
