They did what came naturally to them. The fact that they did it without, presumably, even considering the consequences that resulted, therefore without socialising their plan beforehand, which would have IMO meant it being canned, just shows them to be completely unfit for their jobs.
So it's not an unlucky break. They are not up to it. They are unfit and no amount of u-turning will make them fit.
The MPs know this and want them out. But they don't want another leadership contest. Their dilemma is that they need to select a unity candidate for coronation but they won't be able to agree who that is.
That could keep Truss in office, but they perceive that will result in a landslide defeat come the eventual election.
If Truss had any shame or common decency she'd walk. I still hope she will, but Johnson lowered the bar for acceptable conduct so far that it's virtually impossible to get under it.
