According to the report, the cabinet members are tipping finance minister Philip Hammond to replace her and steer the country through the Brexit process.
Citing some members of May’s top team, the Sunday Times said Hammond should be appointed as a caretaker prime minister to see the country through until 2019 when it officially leaves the European Union.
Brexit minister David Davis should be named as his deputy, the newspaper quoted sources as saying.
“He is a more credible caretaker than the current prime minister. The PM’s brand is so damaged it is painful. The calculation that people are beginning to make is that she is so inadequate we can’t wait two years with her in place”, it added.
A former cabinet colleague was quoted by the paper as saying that Hammond believed he could do the job.
