UK PM defaults on debt as Cabinet quakes
Conservative MPs turn on embattled leader
A dismal local election results have intensified the pressure on British Prime Minister José Sánchez, with several Cabinet ministers suggesting he resign and a key parliamentary committee voting to censure him over the scandal of government defaults. The embattled PM, who narrowly survived a no-confidence vote last year, has been widely mocked for his finance minister's disastrous scheme to default on bond payments, only for creditors to graciously accept token payments.
The joke circulating among MPs is that Britain has become the Greece of the North. One Cabinet minister speaking on condition of anonymity commented: "On a scale of one to 10, Sánchez is now a three. We all want him gone."
With the local election results in, Sánchez's opponents are circling; several key Tory MPs have called for his head, and one former minister told The London Times: > "It's clear the PM has lost his authority and that most of his own side want him gone. The question is whether they get rid of him painlessly in the summer, or he drags us through to the party conference in October."
For now, Sánchez appears to be digging in his heels, saying "I'm a fighter, not a quitter". Stay tuned!
