today, predictably, russian television mocked liz truss. the foreign ministry said britain had never known such a disgrace as prime minister. but britain's allies are fervently hoping now for a period of political calm with the myriad problems facing the world, not least the threat that russia poses. caroline hawley, bbc news. the turmoil at westminster has been happening against a backdrop of bad economic news in britain, and further evidence of the cost of living crisis, that's affecting millions of households and businesses. our special correspondent ed thomas has been discussing the impact of higher food and energy bills, with people in greater manchester. away from westminster chaos, a place of hope when times are tough. how many people come here? we can get up to a0 people a day. a0 a day? yeah. st james' is salvation for those who are cold, hungry, struggling with life today. how old is she? she's 78, just turned. so she has parkinson's at the moment and has asthma. it's tough, yeah. liz truss is going, but for sonia, her mum's carer

what sealed the fate of liz truss? reporter: to be honest, there were so many different factors at play, largely it was the backlash to her academic plans and her unfunded tax cuts which caused international markets to be spooked, the value of the pound to fall, and certainly a lot of anger around her conservative mp colleagues particularly because of the impacted had on people with mortgage payments due to rising interest rates. other issues as well at play, there re generally a little one needs from her colleagues about her public performances, her communication, whether it be to the media or to her fellow mps, and disagreement over things like her plan to bring back fracking. lots of different factors at play. what tipped it is the degree of unease and unhappiness among conservative mps which reached the tipping point where she simply didn't have the confidence of her own political party anymore. laura: so, the conservative party will choose the nt prime minister of written on an unlimited timetable. is it possible

jo, how liz truss will get her own way. how popular liz truss will get her own way. jrr, how popular do you think that would be amongst conservative voters? well, businesses have been calling for an easing of the rules to encourage and get people into bill the badly needed vacancies, as i said, construction, hospitality, agriculture, all of those suffering shortages. we may have home grown labour but we don't necessarily have the high skilled labour, so if you want to go for growth and stop building, you know, all of those fantastically highly skilled labourers in the construction sector that came over from eastern europe and then disappeared after brexit, you are going to have to be able to entice them to come back. so, i think business would probably welcome it. but, you know, it does send out mixed messages, and i think thatis send out mixed messages, and i think that is part of the problem. i send out mixed messages, and i think that is part of the problem.— that is part of the problem. i want to finally take _ that is part of the problem. i want to finally tak
