Dame Andrea Jenkyns has warned the Tories are drinking in the last chance saloon.
Speaking in the wake of Simon Clarke's attack on the PM, she told GB News, “I did [my letter of no confidence] in November and its last chance saloon.
“I think the only way of actually saving our country from the socialists and Slippery Starmer is by changing leader - and time's running out.
“If you remember Theresa May's time, it was a trickle of letters going in publicly and I think that's what we're going to start seeing now.
“What will happen is I think people will be sleeping on this. I think we'll be able to test the temperature from going into the tea room which I'll certainly be doing, to find out.
“PMQs will be a good taster. Then I think by the weekend the whips will no doubt be going frantic doing their ring around trying to persuade people.
“But I think what started putting people over the edge is number one, polling. Number two, they're losing the by elections and three Rwanda.
“I don't think Suella [Braverman] is involved with this. I’d be very surprised if this has anything to do with Suella."
