Are there 54 Tory MPs out there with enough guts/gumption to trigger a vote of no confidence in the Liz Truss premiership before £ and the UK economy fizzle into nothing?

The 2022 Policing Bill gives the cops the right to arrest you, by just turning up to a protest, irrespective of what you might be doing there. Too few people bother to pay attention to what the Govt/Home Office has been doing. It’s the FSB playbook. Draconian laws by stealth.

Many European governments prioritise their citizens. The UK government prioritises the rich & special interest groups & large corporations, just like Putin’s Russia. So it’s no surprise energy costs 5x more here. Until that changes, UK citizens will always be cheated & exploited.
