AS Tory MPs prepare to vote on the future of Theresa May, Rachel Maclean has thrown her weight behind her boss.
The Redditch MP has already made it clear Mrs May will have her support in tonight's no-confidence vote.
In a tweet Rachel says she could not disagree more with moves to oust the Prime Minister.
Changing leader now is the wrong thing to do. There is a real risk that we end up with no Brexit. Employers in Redditch want to plan for the future and we need to focus on these negotiations. https://t.co/Vy0ZOwVKne

If Mrs May loses a no-confidence vote by MPs tonight the Conservative Party will need to choose a new leader.
The vote of no-confidence in the Prime Minister was triggered after the chairman of the Tory MPs' back-bench committee, Sir Graham Brady, received 48 letters from Tory MPs of no-confidence in their leader.
The result of the no-confidence vote will be known by 10pm this evening.
