Britain's May has '10 days to save job', Tories plan her ouster

June 18, 2017 20:43

British Prime Minister Theresa May has "10 days to save her job" as some of her party lawmakers are secretly plotting her ouster, according to UK media reports.

After her flawed decision to call a snap general election saw the Conservatives lose their narrow majority earlier this month, May has now come under fire for her lacklustre response to the Grenfell Tower fire disaster.

She has 10 days to come up with a strategy that will satisfy enough supporters of hard and soft Brexit alike or she will face a leadership challenge, a former minister told The Sunday Times.

"She is going to have to go sooner rather than later. The critical moment is June 28 and 29, when there are votes on the Queens Speech, the politician said.

"If it looks like they will be lost, you have to strike," he said.

A senior backbencher also spoke of coming under pressure to back a vote of no confidence in Mays leadership.

"Ive got serious members in my constituency texting me saying: Youve got to get rid of her quickly because every time she appears shes making the party more toxic, the MP told the newspaper.
