Tory Plot to Install Penny Mordaunt as PM in 100 Days Revealed in Leaked WhatsApp Messages
- WhatsApp message outlines plot for Tory MPs to install Penny Mordaunt as PM under a "Contract with Britain", then call an election after 100 days
- Some Tories believe Mordaunt is best placed to defeat Labour, despite concerns over her "woke" stances
- Simon Clarke's call for Sunak to resign seemed mistimed, but reflects desperation some Tories feel over his inability to improve polls
- A stronger trigger for leadership challenge could be if Reform UK continues climbing in polls, especially if Nigel Farage joins
- Dismissal of Clarke's intervention is foolish - behind closed doors some Tory MPs are considering ditching Sunak, and "Contract with Britain" could be their path
