PRESSURE GROWS ON UK PM MAY

UK Prime Minister Theresa May is under pressure from sections of her own Conservative Party to stand down as leader.

It follows an election in June in which the Conservatives lost their parliamentary majority.

Mrs May's speech to party conference this week was also beset by problems.

A group of Conservative MPs is now trying to persuade her to call a leadership election - while cabinet ministers rally round the Prime Minister.

Former Conservative Party Chairman Grant Shapps is one of those who thinks Mrs May should go.
