Wild rumours have begun to circulate online that Rishi Sunak could resign as Prime Minister just weeks before Britons head to the polls.Rumours spread after the PM cancelled several media interviews and was forced to apologise for leaving D-Day celebrations early. Adding fuel to the fire, key Boris Johnson ally Nadine Dorries suggested Cameron could be a likely replacement should Sunak stand down.
Dorries wrote on Twitter: “I have always said that Cameron was popped into the Lords and into a senior ministerial post for a reason. “I thought maybe it was to replace Sunak at an earlier stage.
“Rumours around tonight that Sunak’s about to fall on his sword.
“There are no MPs – only Ministers.
“If Sunak does resign, any replacement would have to come from within Ministerial ranks…”
Replying to Dorries’ tweet, GB News’ Martin Daubney wrote: “Sunak to resign over D-Day disaster & David Cameron to step in and lead Tories?”
One social media user questioned: “Surely there’s no precedent for this? There is no mechanism to replace the PM during an election. It’s not like the US where the vice president takes over. Uncharted territory.”Other users were more sceptical, with one writing on X: “Rishi Sunak going quiet and cancelling all media interviews doesn’t fill me with the same hope as others, that he might resign.
“My anxiety takes me straight to ‘What scandal are they creating about Labour that might just be enough to get them back in the running’?”Nadine Dorries sparks rumours Sunak could resign….I have always said that Cameron was popped into the Lords and into a senior ministerial post for a reason.
