Labour MP’s have been urged to “grow a backbone” and “kick out” Keir Starmer amid mounting scandals.
Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp launched the blistering broadside while speaking with Camilla Tominey on GB News.
Mr Philp began by describing the Prime Minister’s pledge to remain in post to fight the next election as “laughable”.
“He’s barely going to be around to fight the local elections in a week and a half, let alone the general election in three years’ time,” the top Tory slammed.
“Frankly, Keir Starmer should resign straight away.”
When pushed by Camilla on the Prime Minister’s insistence on staying, Mr Philp argued Sir Keir’s party should then step in.
He said: “If he won’t resign voluntarily. And as you say, he probably won’t. Then Labour MPs and ministers should kick him out.
“Labour MPs and ministers should have the backbone to get rid of him.

“He is a catastrophic Prime Minister who is seriously damaging our national interest with every minute that he remains in office.”
Mr Phil then blasted Sir Keir for “cowardice” over the prorogation of Parliament on Wednesday.
“If Keir Starmer does try and weasel his way out of Prime Minister’s Questions in three days time, that would be an act of abject cowardice by Keir Starmer.
“I think the public will judge him accordingly if he’s too frightened to turn up to PMQs on Wednesday.”

Following his calls for the PM to go, Camilla then pushed Mr Phil on who should replace him in Downing Street.
She asked: “You’ve been very critical of Keir Starmer. Would Angela Rayner be a better Prime Minister?”
“Oh my goodness, no, she’d be even worse,” he shot back, adding: “Angela Rayner is the one who introduced this awful unemployment bill.”
“Goodness me. No, we need to kick him out and frankly, replace this Labour government with a sensible one.”
Camilla then asked if the Tories were therefore seeking a General Election.
“I would like to see a conservative government led by Kemi Badenoch, a changed conservative government. Leading this country out of this mess.
“I want to see this government kicked out.”
When pushed on a timeline for such a vote by the GB New star, Mr Philp responded: “We’re ready any time we are ready, any time.”
