Tory MP drops a bombshell ahead of Theresa May’s big speech

Poor old Theresa May. The Prime Minister hasn’t even got on stage to deliver her speech at Tory party conference and already things are not going quite to plan. Tory MP James Duddridge has announced this morning that he thinks it is time for Theresa May to step down – and that Boris’s speech was a turning point in his decision. He said that he had sent his letter to the 1922 committee urging the PM to go:

‘I felt the time has come for her to go. I don’t think she has performed well, I don’t think she is leading us into a strong Brexit and increasing number of colleagues are of that same view’

Oh dear…
