“Now some of them are trying to coordinate a last minute rush of letters of no confidence to Sir Graham Brady, on the grounds that perhaps he could be removed before Parliament is prorogued.”
“Upset” Conservatives MPs are trying to stop a general election by booting out Sunak before the end of the week, says The Times’s Red Box editor Lara Spirit.

To be honest there would be nothing funnier than 4 Conservative Prime Ministers in one parliament! The idea that replacing Sunak and calling off the currently scheduled general election, with less than 6 months to go before they have to call a general election, would improve their electoral prospects is insane. At present a large proportion of the electorate despises the Conservatives. If they did that they would be reduced to a laughing stock.
