MPs have warned that the Prime Minister's job could be under threat after a torrid week
No 10 is gambling on anBut senior Tories loyal to Mr Sunak fear it is increasingly likely that rebel MPs will seek to remove him from Downing Street before the election happens.
The Prime Minister confirmed on Thursday that he would not seek to hold a general election on the same day, with polling day in autumn remaining the “working assumption” of No 10.: “There 100 per cent will be some form of challenge to him – 2 May is looking dreadful. And the party is just utterly despondent. Everyone has checked out. An election is all we have left – call it, get it done.”
Only two MPs have openly called for the Prime Minister to be replaced, but a group of Tory rebels have been discussing the possibility of removing him since the start of the year and encouraging more people to send no-confidence letters to backbench chief Sir Graham Brady. “What they say is there are only 20 or so weeks left in the campaign, the Budget was meant to be one of our big events and we blew it. We made no progress, in fact we went backwards.” MPs from all wings of the party have complained that last week’s Budget contained few major eye-catching interventions, other than the 2p cut to national insurance.
