I think they will want to get over this little crisis and reassure the markets. Right now it is not open to the prime minister to call an election.

Maybe Rishi will come back as the chancellor and that is quite possible because they are friends but I think what will happen is that Jeremy Hunt would most probably become the new prime minister.

[Liz Truss](/topic/liz-truss), slip-ups are being made on live television.

ITV news presenter Robert Peston has joined a long line of broadcasters to have accidentally called chancellor Jeremy Hunt a rude word live on air.

Hunt has not responded to every slip of the tongue made about him - he’s a busy man and this would take up a fair amount of his time.
