The Prime Minister is urging mutinous Tory MPs to 'stick to the plan' as reports emerge of a plot to oust him before the election
Angry Conservative MPs have begun to turn on each other amid growing rumours of a plot to oust Rishi Sunak ahead of the general election. The would-be rebels were described as “clinically insane” by colleagues worried that anointing a third unelected Tory Prime Minister would only make the party even more unpopular.
The Leader of the House of Commons, who twice stood for the leadership unsuccessfully in 2022, has not commented publicly on the speculation. One senior Conservative MP told i: “There’s definitely talk about replacing Sunak. It’s been happening on lower levels for months but I think some colleagues are taking it more seriously now.” They added: “It seems to be to be coming from an anxiety about our chances at the next election. Sadly, I think the writing is on the wall there.
