The Conservative leader has suggested that some Labour MPs would back her part in a no vote of confidence against the Prime Minister.
The past 48 hours Sir Keir Starmer has faced his hardest battle to date following resignation of his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney and then his directory of communications Tim Allan.
Badenoch said, “We’ve always been prepared to table a motion of no confidence, but what I want to see is us winning a motion of no confidence and that is why I made the offer to Labour MPs.
“Some have given us indications, but we’re not at the stage yet where the Prime Minister would lose such a motion. But I believe that the MPs behind him have lost confidence in the Prime Minister.
They’re just now afraid for a general election because they know they would all lose their jobs.
Badenoch told the Press Association, “Labour MPs and the Labour Party have lost confidence in their leader, but the MPs are too scared of losing their jobs, so they’re not going to call an election, and they’ve given him a stay of execution.
“The sad thing is that the country is suffering from not being governed at all.”
However, a very defiant Starmer said on Monday night that he has “won every fight I’ve ever been in” and he is vowing to continue as the Labour leader.
