Sunak booted out and ANOTHER Tory PM by May - don't bet against it, says DAVID MADDOX

Tory MPs have already started a stopwatch on Rishi Sunak's premiership. He has until the local elections to turn things around or face yet another potential leadership coup.

Abstinence has a place in protests historically, although traditionally it is people like the early suffragettes denying themselves food. The surprising number of voting abstentions on the Autumn Statement vote last night by around 40 Conservative MPs may have been much less spectacular but carries enormous significance for Rishi Sunak's government.

Added to that Mr Sunak was forced to withdraw a vote on planning reform because dozens of his own backbenchers had indicated they would rebel.

There's nothing like concreting over the shires to get Conservative MPs angry.

But it is more than this, there appears to be genuine fury over the direction of the Rishi Sunak government in just a few short weeks.

One senior backbencher confided that a number of colleagues had been "given a slip" to allow them to miss the Autumn Statement vote – Jeremy Hunt's Budget in all but name – as a compromise to prevent them voting against it and being thrown out of the party.

The MP said: "It's a shirker's budget. It rewards those who stay at home and sit on the sofa and punishes those who work hard.

"I could not vote for this socialist nonsense."

A former Cabinet Minister was even more blunt about it.

"Colleagues are very unhappy. People are genuinely angry.

"I have already informed the whips that I will abstain there are measures in the Autumn Statement that I simply cannot accept."

The ex-Minister added: "We are looking at another potential coup. It could happen again.

"Sunak has until May and the local elections. If the results are bad, colleagues will act."

Good riddance, but its the slithergreen Hunt who's really Prime Minister. Even the ruling world elites realise they'd never get away with this hateful man as leader. So Sunak et al are merely his glove puppets, whilst the real distant leaders, one step removed from the UK tell him what to do. More importantly, when to 'signal' when he wants 'the markets' (Soros) to intervene and tank the £ for a few weeks, whilst the likes of / Truss, or Injun Joe gets trashed and yet another Banana republic coup is staged ... Unbelievable!
