It came as Boris Johnson's former chief of staff Dominic Cummings accused Tory MPs and Mr Sunak of giving up and accepting inevitable defeat to Labour.
Commenting on the Budget, he posted on X (formerly Twitter): "Hacks looking for some electoral/ 'strategy'/ campaign logic. There isn't one Sunak gave up long ago, if MPs put enough letters in for a vote he'd resign immediately and jump on Netjets to California.
"There is no plan, there's no desire to fight, No10 is tumbleweed as officials and spads plan their next jobs."

READ MORE: 'Zero effect Budget!' Hunt fails to boost Tories as pensioners abandon the party
Sunak and Hunt discuss the Budget (Image: Getty)
Claire Bullivant, editor of the Conservative Post, told Express.co.uk: "We have been inundated with people signing the letter. People are very angry and they want change."
The letter pulls no punches demanding that the Prime Minister agrees to go immediately.
Urging Conservative supporters and other "patriots" to sign, the blurb noted: "Lord Frost warned if MPs don't act now 'there will soon only be smoking rubble left,' a sentiment echoed by MP Simon Clark who called to replace Sunak immediately 'or face a decade of decline under Starmer.'"
The website insisted that it is not too late to stop a Labour victory, claiming: "We do still have time to win the next election and keep Labour out of No 10 but many of us feel Rishi Sunak needs to go."
The breakdown of signatories is 1,170 current members and 1,708 former members with the rest as former or potential Tory voters.

The letter in full
Dear Prime Minister,
We the people are writing to ask you to resign from the Government.
We want a Prime Minister who protects our borders and our people.
We want a leader who we can get behind and who has a chance of winning at the next General Election.
We want a leader who fights for the things we the people want… free speech, free markets, low taxes and small government. We want conservatism.
And Prime Minister, you aren’t delivering.
Last month Lord Frost warned if action isn’t taken now ‘there will soon only be smoking rubble left,’ a sentiment echoed by MP Simon Clark who called to replace you immediately ‘or face a decade of decline under Starmer.’
After last month’s ‘stunningly awful’ YouGov poll which showed the Conservative Party facing a 1997 style wipeout, Lord Frost noted: ‘Whatever the strategy is – and it is often hard to discern one – it isn’t working.’
YOUR strategy isn’t working Prime Minister.
The most optimistic of predictions currently predicts with you at the helm, the party lose nearly 200 seats. This will be the worst loss of seats since Arthur Balfour in 1906, and would see Labour with a majority of 120. Can you imagine the damage Labour would do with a 120 seat majority?
As Lord Frost stated we are “going to lose, and lose bad, unless we do something about it.”
So we the people are taking it into our own hands. We want you gone.
Many of us have been loyal to you. Some backed you to become Leader of our Party and encouraged others to do so. Many have served you but enough is enough. With you as Prime Minister we will be giving the Downing Street keys to Keir Starmer.

Our country is facing immense challenges. We want a low-tax, high-growth economy, and world class public services, but this can only be delivered if our leader makes sacrifices and takes difficult decisions. You haven’t and your approach isn’t working.
We could technically have the General Election in January 2025 so there is still time to turn it around if you resign now. Please do not call an election before you have been replaced.
Please resign and give us a chance to put the damages you have inflicted on our party behind us. Please give us a chance to save our country from 5 years of Labour. Please resign.
