THE Tories were plunged into a fresh civil war last night as different factions accused each other of promoting a plot to oust Rishi Sunak.
After a torrid week for the Prime Minister, rumours emerged over the weekend that fed-up MPs want to topple him so Penny Mordaunt can lead the party into the election.
But allies of Ms Mordaunt, the Commons leader, insisted the plot was not being driven by her camp and blamed right-wingers.
And Tory Sir Jake Berry accused "inept" aides of claiming he was behind the conspiracy.
He told Times Radio: "It's categorically incorrect. I understand that No10 is briefing it out, purposely. It speaks to how incompetent the advisers around Rishi Sunak are."
