In June the Prime Minister is to be hauled in front of the scheduled meeting of all 800 constituency chairmen and senior activists who will demand for her resignation over her handling of Brexit. Mrs May was last night informed the threshold for a petition to enforce the extraordinary emergency meeting has been passed. The petition was organised by Dinah Glover, who chairs London East Conservatives.
Ms Glover said: “I am extremely sad that we have had to organise this.
“Unfortunately, the Prime Minister is no longer the solution to the problem, but is actually the block to Brexit.”
The petition reads: “We no longer feel that Mrs May is the right person to continue as Prime Minister to lead us forward in the negotiations.
“We therefore with great reluctance ask that she considers her position and resigns, to allow the Conservative Party to choose another leader, and the Country to move forward and negotiate our exit from the EU.”
