Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has urged those Conservative MPs working to oust Rishi Sunak from No 10 before the next election to stop being "obsessed with Westminster psychodrama". With the fear of losing their parliamentary seats growing among many Conservatives, there's speculation that a faction is considering Penny Mordaunt, the Leader of the House of Commons, as a replacement for Rishi Sunak ahead of a national election.
This comes as he anticipates a challenging week with the return of his Rwanda Bill to the Commons and a meeting with the 1922 Committee of backbench MPs. Sunak anticipates "more progress" against inflation with the upcoming release of new data by the Office for National Statistics on Wednesday. He expressed optimism, noting significant economic indicators are now favourable.
