Rumours a coup is brewing in the UK Conservative Party likely hold little truth. 

In the last few days MP Penny Mordaunt has been at the centre of speculation that she’s trying to oust the prime minister, after which she’ll step into his place. 

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that while there is disquiet within the Conservative Party’s backbenches regarding Rishi Sunak’s performance, a coup is unlikely. 

He said the Tories aren’t used to the fact that its them the country hates, not just Sunak, his trust, or those who came before. 

People are sick of the conservatives, Liddle said.
