We need to stop the “in-fighting” in the Tory Party, claims Gina Miller (Image: Getty)
Activist, Gina Miller, claims voters have had enough of the "chaos" and believes it is time to head to the ballot box, which received pushback on Jeremy Vine’s Live on 5.
Britain’s next General Election is expected to be held this year, although its timing is uncertain. On Jeremy Vine's television show, panelists and callers were discussing the upcoming election and if Rishi Sunak should be replaced as Prime Minister.
Caller, Callum, from Edinburgh said: "It will be the nail in the coffin for the Conservatives to change Prime Minister. I do not know what that MP is thinking about to write that article in the paper."
The caller was referring to Tory MP, Simon Clarke’s article in the Telegraph which called for his party to replace Rishi Sunak or be "massacred" in the general election.
Gina Miller said: “They are in such disarray. The idea they can replace somebody and wipe the slate clean… People want an election. They don’t want another Prime Minister.”

Ms Miller added: "We need to stop the in-fighting and self-destruction that’s happening within the Tory party."
Ms Miller’s comments and the debate sparked criticism from broadcaster and journalist, Carole Malone as she spoke about constructive remarks within the article.
Speaking on the show, Ms Malone said: "You’ve got to get a PM that shares the instinct of the majority", as she referenced Sir Simon Clarke’s article.
She further went on to claim: "A lot of the red wall MPs were saying we really regret ousting Boris [Johnson]."

Mr Clarke wrote: "Whilst the Prime Minister is far from solely responsible for our present predicament, his uninspiring leadership is the main obstacle to our recovery."
