Sir Graham Brady, the chair of the Conservative 1922 committee, has reportedly told Theresa May that MPs want her to stand down over her handling of Brexit.

He visited the Prime Minister at Downing Street on Monday, where he told her that the number of colleagues calling for her to go was growing.According to The Daily Telegraph  the Altrincham and Sale West MP broke the news in a “neutral” manner after he was “bombarded with text messages” by Tories calling for her to be confronted.
