A survey of elected grassroots Conservatives found three quarters of Mrs May’s councillors wanted her to resign, with 43% of them calling for her to quit immediately.
One councillor in the Survation study said: ‘The Conservative Party is dead. It will take a strong leader to dredge it out of the mud.’Another said: ‘For God’s sake get on with it – it is killing us on the doorstep.’Some 43% said Mrs May should resign now and 33% once a Brexit deal has been reached – the timetable the Prime Minister has indicated for her departure.
He added: ‘Far from being seen as the party to solve the EU question, the Tories are now actively regarded by a growing number of people as being a major part of the problem. In a sign of the pressure on Mrs May, the Sunday Times reported that she will be told within days that she must step down by the end of June or face a fresh effort by MPs to oust her.The newspaper reported that Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the backbench 1922 Committee, will tell her that 70% of Tory MPs now want her to resign.Mrs May survived a confidence vote by her MPs in December and the party’s rules prevent another attempt to force her out within 12 months.
Former Tory MP Paul Goodman, the website’s editor, said: ‘It’s like Groundhog Day for the Prime Minister – but in which each one is worse than that before.
