“Britain needs stability, not a soap opera,” Leader of the Commons Penny Mordaunt writes in the Daily Telegraph, signalling she isn’t planning to stage a coup against Ms Truss. Likening the PM’s struggles “to those faced and overcome by Winston Churchill”, Ms Mordaunt warns MPs against rebelling and says the country needs “pragmatism and teamwork”. The paper also has a spot for China’s President Xi Jinping, who yesterday told the country’s ruling Communist Party he had no plans to end his zero-Covid policy, which includes “draconian quarantine and invasive contact tracing”, it writes.
