That's the point Peston made -
post 929 refers.
It is slightly possible that she might try and make Kwarteng the fall guy and gamble that the Party doesn't want another change of leadership before the election.
There is an argument that it's best for the Party if the economic difficulties of 2022 and 2023 are associated with Truss and not with a new Conservative leader.
