UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak received his first formal call to stand down on Tuesday in a no-confidence letter from Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns. The letter comes a day after Sunak sacked Home Secretary Suella Braverman in a cabinet reshuffle, drawing backlash from some Conservatives. Jenkyns slammed Sunak for ousting "the only person in the cabinet with the balls to speak the truth" on issues like crime. She urged Sunak's replacement with a "real Conservative leader." 15% of Tory MPs submitting no-confidence letters would trigger a vote on Sunak’s leadership. Jenkyns expressed hopes her colleagues would follow suit, as Sunak faces rising dissent within his party over the cabinet shakeup.
