Who could REPLACE Theresa May as next Conservative leader and Prime Minister? (Image: GETTY)
She previously survived her Withdrawal Agreement controversy and vote of no confidence triggered by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. This has since prompted the belief that Mrs May is in office but not in power, according to The Daily Telegraph. But who are the runners and riders to replace the Prime Minister if she loses her grip on power?
Express.co.uk has the latest odds.
Boris Johnson
Odds: 6/1
The former Foreign Secretary is the favourite for Conservative MP to takeover Mrs May’s reign.
After leading the Leave campaign in 2016, Mr Johnson has been incredibly critical of the Prime Minister’s deal and returned to the backbencher after resigning from Cabinet.
Mr Johnson also has a desire to lead the party and told LBC listeners on Monday that he regretted pulling out of the leadership race.
However, many MPs turned on the well known Tory with some even threatening to resign the whip if he becomes leader.
It is expected Mr Johnson would dismiss the Withdrawal Agreement and attempt a Canada-style free trade deal with the EU and push to create more deal with the US and China if he became Prime Minister.

Sajid Javid
Odds: 8/1
The Secretary of State for the Home Department has won Conservative MPs over with his tough stance on grooming gangs and handling of the Windrush scandal.
But some doubt his chance of winning the leadership due to his softer approach to immigration and Brexiteers are still holding a grudge against his decision to back Remain during the referendum.
While migrant boats were crossing the Channel, Mr Javid was on a family holiday in South Africa which brought his judgement into question, according to The Daily Telegraph.
Mr Javid would attempt a managed approach to immigration which would include high-skilled worker receiving priority as businesses, the NHS and schools continue to recruit foreign workers on lower pay if elected.

Amber Rudd
Odds: 14/1
The Work and Pensions Secretary, who recovered from the Windrush scandal earlier this year, is likely to receive support from moderate and remain supporters.
Ms Rudd is argued to be highly competent and is beginning to improve the department which has been criticised over the rollout of Universal Credit.
But as a passionate Remainer, she isn’t the favourite for Brexiteers who fear she would push for a soft Norway-style Brexit along with beliefs she would cave to demands for a second referendum.
Her Hastings constituency is also a problem as it has a thin majority of just 346 which could risk her candidacy.

Jeremy Hunt
Odds: 12/1
The current Foreign Secretary has excelled out of weathered years as Britain’s longest serving Health Secretary.
Mr Hunt recently aided the release of Matthew Hedges an academic who was jailed by the UAE and speaks in Japanese in Tokyo establishing himself as one to watch, according to the Daily Telegraph.
As another critic of Mrs May’s deal, he is likely to seek new concessions for Brussels on the Irish backstop.
But like Ms Rudd, he is likely to attempt a Norway-style departure if elected as
