Mad-eyed May: Theresa May is facing growing frustration from Tory MPs – and it seems the feeling is mutual [Image: Getty].

With the current government, a day is a long time in politics, let alone a week.

Theresa May faces multiple challenges to her leadership. The local elections aren’t until – well – May, and their result won’t just depend on her performance but on that of her ministers as well.

Face it, Tories – your PM is in trouble.

Theresa May will hold talks with her top team on how to head off major losses in the upcoming local elections, as one of the country’s top pollsters warned Brexit could hit Tory electoral chances.

Elections expert Sir John Curtice, who predicted last year’s shock election result, said the Conservatives could lose more than half of their London boroughs in the May elections, which are being fought mostly in Labour heartlands or Remain-voting areas like the capital.

Cabinet ministers will meet on Tuesday to discuss how to avoid a poor showing at the polls, The Independent understands, in a sign of mounting fears that a disastrous set of results could cost Ms May her job.
