The Cabinet minister warned restive Conservative MPs off moving against Rishi Sunak before an election.
Grant Shapps has told Tory MPs considering ousting Rishi Sunak before the general election to “let him get on with the job”.
A disastrous set of local elections for the Conservative Party on May 2 could lead some Tories to view replacing Mr Sunak as leader as the only way to improve the party’s dire polling and avert a similar wipeout in a national vote. “We are into the growth phase now for the economy, inflation is back under control, able to do things like the 2.5% . We just need to actually give the Prime Minister space to get on with the job.”
With the prospect of a drubbing in mayoral and council elections looming, this week saw Mr Sunak seeking to bolster his leadership with a commitment to spend 2.5% of gross domestic product on defence by 2030, and his Rwanda asylum plan signed into law. “If you’re going to jump out of an aeroplane, please make sure you’ve got a parachute before you leave the aeroplane,” he said.
