Conservative MPs are threatening to change their leadership rules to force Theresa May from office.
Theresa May could be ousted within weeks if she refuses to spell out her resignation plans today.Failure to do so could lead Conservative MPs to change their leadership election rules to allow an early contest.
May is currently only committed to quitting once she has passed a Brexit deal through the Parliament — an event which currently looks unlikely and could take many months. Allies of May have reportedly threatened to challenge any change in the rules in court, risking a deeply damaging legal battle between May and her own MPs.
Talks between the two parties will continue today following what Downing Street described as"constructive and detailed" discussions last night. Leadsom came in second place to May in the last race for Conservative leader in 2016 and remains popular with Conservative MPs and activists, largely due to her support for leaving the EU without a Brexit deal if necessary.
