Tory party tensions escalate amid talk of calls for PM to step down
Tory tensions appear to be escalating after two prominent party members suggested that there were calls within their ranks for Prime Minister David Cameron to step aside.
Tory MP Nadine Dorries told Peston on Sunday Mr Cameron could be "toast within days", depending on the referendum vote and said her "letter is already in", along with 50 other MPs, asking for the Prime Minster to stand aside.
Meanwhile Andrew Bridgen told BBC’s 5 Live he thought "we probably need to go for a general election before Christmas and get a new mandate from the people".
It came as senior Vote Leave campaigners Michael Gove and Boris Johnson also called on David Cameron to accept his failure to limit migration as "corrosive of public trust" on Sunday.
