Tory MPs considering reinstalling Theresa May as PM

Desperate Conservative MPs are mulling reinstalling Theresa May as prime minister with the party in disarray.

New polling shows the majority of members now believe Truss should resign the top job – just six weeks after they made her PM.

If she was to vacate the position it would leave another leadership vacuum, with Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt waiting in the wings.

The two former chancellors are priced 6/4 and 4/1 respectively by bookies Star Sports.

Boris Johnson has also seen his odds drop to 12/1 from 16/1, just 42 days after vacating the position.

According to Theo Usherwood, another former Tory leader could also be in with a shout.

He said MPs are starting to talk about Theresa May as someone who could “calm things down”.

The Maidenhead MP is priced 33/1 with the bookies. But could be one worth watching!
