SENIOR Tory MPs are on the cusp of calling for Rishi Sunak to resign amid dire polling numbers.
Last night one ex-Cabinet Minister was preparing to go public with the call for a new PM after the Government slumped to just 20 per cent in one survey.
The move comes after 60 MPs last week defied party whips to demand the PM toughen up his flagship migration policies.
One leading rebellion organiser said: “The country has had enough and many MPs have had enough.
“Rishi is leading us to electoral oblivion.”
They added: “The polling shows he’s a drag on the party and that another Conservative leader could quite easily turn the tide against Starmer who is also a dud.
“There’s no point in going quietly into the night to be killed – we have to fight.
“Rishi cannot deliver any message that the public wants to hear.
“We can and must change to have any chance of a respectable outing at the election.
“This is a question of whether we want to spend five years or ten years out of government.”
