> That would require a lot of Tory MPs to rebel

Yes, it’s practically impossible currently given both the size of their majority, and also the clear indications that a large number of Tory MPs would be personally voting themselves out of a job. (The current polling may well be underestimating the scale of the defeat)

It’s more likely that the Prime Minister will be kicked out.

But all those 'Red Wall' Tory MPs representing poor Northern constituencies are going to lose their jobs either way at this rate. They might calculate that they stand more chance of being reinstated under Rishi Sunak (or whoever) than they would of winning their seats again at the next election under Liz Truss. I don't think the Tories as a whole can let Truss carry on for many more days though as they are burning credibility faster than an Saturn rocket burns fuel. The country hasn't had an even vaguely competent leader since Cameron, this has mostly been ignored by people as they have been able to go about their daily lives as normal but the current shambles is affecting peoples finances across the spectrum and people are waking up to the fact that the Tories have dropped the ball.
