There have been claims that some MPs are considering replacing Mr Sunak with Penny Mordaunt
There have been claims among national newspapers that some MPs are considering replacing Mr Sunak with Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt before the general election later this year. It comes as Mr Sunak ruled out holding a general election on May 2, having previously indicated he will send the country to the polls in the latter half of 2024.
Asked for his message to mutinous Tory MPs, Mr Harper said: "What I would say to all of my colleagues is this: I spend my time as Transport Secretary focusing on doing what I think is the right thing for the country, making decisions that I think are sensible. "The Prime Minister made it quite clear at the beginning of the year that his working assumption was the election was going to be at the end of the year," the minister said.
Jeremy Hunt's Budget in which the Chancellor announced his ambition to scrap national insurance failed to boost the Tories' dire polling figures.
