Half of all Conservative Party members do not want to see Kemi Badenoch leading the Tories into the next General Election, according to a bombshell new poll.
The poll by YouGov found 46 per cent think the current Tory leader should stay in place when the country next goes to the polls, while 50 per cent say she should not.
When asked who they would prefer as leader of the Conservative Party, 46 per cent of Tory members said they would rather have Shadow Justice Secretary, Robert Jenrick leading.
In another blow for Ms Badenoch, just under half of Tory members would support a full blown merger with Reform UK, against 48 per cent who would oppose a merger.
The poll finds 64 per cent support an electoral pact with Nigel Farage’s party, meaning the two parties agree to not field candidates in seats where the other is more likely to win, while 31 per cent do not.
Meanwhile, 73 per cent would welcome a coalition with Reform UK in a hung parliament, with 25 per cent against, with two per cent unsure.
