The two surviving former 1922 chairmen Michael Spicer and Archie Hamilton say Conservative MPs can change the party’s leadership rules - which mean no challenge until December - and force out Theresa May in the next few months.
The two surviving former 1922 chairmen Michael Spicer and Archie Hamilton say Conservative MPs can change the party’s leadership rules - which mean no challenge until December - and force out Theresa May in the next few months.
In an intervention which will electrify the party Michael Spicer and Archie Hamilton – who drew up and developed the current rules - say: “Conservative MPs are responsible for their party. If they wish to change these rules there is nothing standing in their way.”
Sir Graham Brady tells us: “It is my understanding that the rules could in future be changed by the agreement of the 1922 executive." He added that it was "less certain that it would be possible to change the rules during the current period of grace” which runs to 12 December.
