Newspaper headlines: 'Truss on the brink' and 'chaos' of Braverman exit

Most front pages feature the words chaos, disarray, mayhem and shambles - to describe Wednesday's events at Westminster.

The Daily Mail says Liz Truss's premiership is in freefall, and senior Tory MPs are urgently discussing strategies for ousting her. The paper says she could be forced to step down by the weekend, and possibly as early as today.

According to the Daily Telegraph some Tory plotters believe Ms Truss will be toppled within days, and Cabinet ministers are now considering a move against her.

The paper says there's speculation that between 50 and 100 letters of no confidence in her have been sent to Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 committee of Tory backbenchers. He met Ms Truss on Wednesday, for a second time in three days.

"Broken" is the Sun's front-page headline, under a picture of Ms Truss. The paper says she saw her government collapse around her.

There's a description in the Times of the chaotic scenes during last night's vote on fracking in the Commons - it reports that at one point the prime minister lost her security detail as she ran after her chief whip to convince her not to step down.

The paper says the resignation of Suella Braverman as home secretary leaves Ms Truss more isolated, because those on the right of the party, who were instrumental in making her leader, could now turn against her.

The Mail says it has been told by multiple sources that Ms Braverman stepped down after "a 90-minute shouting match" with Liz Truss. The paper says raised voices could be heard outside the room and Ms Braverman was furious at being asked to relax immigration rules in order to boost economic growth.

In an editorial, the Times says the prime minister is right on immigration, because Britain is experiencing labour shortages in a number of sectors and carefully managed immigration can help fill those gaps. But the paper says Ms Truss increasingly looks like a prisoner of her party rather than the leader of it.

"Beyond belief" is how the Daily Express describes the latest events in Westminster.

In an editorial the paper says people are crying out for a stable government at a time when the nation faces huge challenges. It says the prime minister needs to unite her party but she can only succeed if the party wants to be united.

In its editorial, the Daily Mirror describes the government as "a grotesque cavalcade of clowns and misfits." The paper says their "ineptitude would be laughable were it not for the fact that their decisions have broken the country's economy."

A report in the Financial Times says divisions within the Conservative Party are making it difficult for the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, to find tax increases and spending cuts to fill a hole of about £40bn in the public finances.

The paper says some Tory MPs are hugely resistant to tax rises, and are warning that they would vote against them.

Away from the political crisis, the Guardian highlights a report that the former tennis star Boris Becker - who's serving a sentence for tax evasion at Huntercombe prison near Henley on Thames - has transformed himself.

According to the German tabloid Bild, he's lost weight, quit alcohol and is working as an assistant alongside the prison coach for fitness and psychology.
