		</div><p>Theresa May is on &#8220;probation&#8221; as British Prime Minister, a Tory MP has claimed. Nigel Evans made the remarks as former education secretary Nicky Morgan said there could be a Tory leadership contest within months. Mr Evans told BBC Radio Four&#8217;s Today programme: &#8220;I believe that the Prime Minister is on probation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The MP said that if Mrs May had not shown &#8220;contrition&#8221; after the General Election outcome and removed her two key advisers, she would now be in &#8220;deep trouble&#8221;. He said: &#8220;Because she has taken the action that she has, she has bought herself a lot of time. Clearly, if that goes off the rails then, I suppose, questions will be asked.&#8221; Ms Morgan said the Tory Party could decide its future direction while the Brexit negotiations on the terms of Britain&#8217;s withdrawal from the EU take place.</p>
<p>Asked if she thought there could be a leadership election within months, Ms Morgan told the BBC: &#8220;I think that is probably right. But, actually, I think, because of the way this Parliament has come about, and because of Brexit, this gives us as a party an opportunity, because Theresa May and David Davis can run those Brexit negotiations which are so critical for the country, whilst the Conservative Party is thinking about our future.</p>
<p>&#8220;I suspect that before we get to the end of the Brexit negotiations we as a party are going to have to think about who is leading us into that next election.&#8221; Former Tory leader Lord Howard insisted Mrs May should remain in place while the Brexit negotiations continue.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it would be immensely disrupting for the Brexit negotiations, and other things as well, if the country were to be plunged into a Tory leadership contest, or even a general election, while the Brexit negotiations go on, certainly. &#8220;So, I think that she should carry on, she said she can carry on and I&#8217;m confident she will carry on.&#8221;</p>
<p>First Secretary of State Damian Green said the &#8220;distraction&#8221; of a leadership contest would be bad for the country. &#8220;Theresa May is determined to do her duty by this country and will continue to do that for as far ahead as I can see,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think now is absolutely not the time for anything like this. We have this hugely important Brexit negotiation, getting that right will enable Britain to become a prosperous country for decades to come, to have any distraction from that at this stage would not be remotely sensible.&#8221;</p>
