Ladbrokes: Cameron on the ropes? odds he's the next MP to leave Cabinet slashed from 100/1 to 20/1 - May & Hammond backed to replace him

Cameron on the ropes

DAVID CAMERON'S odds of leaving Cabinet next have been slashed to 20/1 (from 100/1) by Ladbrokes.

The Prime Minister previously sat in the safe zone in the next Minister to leave market but a string of bets this afternoon have seen his price tumble.

Punters are also speculating on his replacement and the firm note shrewd money for Theresa May & Phillip Hammond. Boris Johnson is the 4/1 market leader from George Osborne at 6/1.

A 2011 general election has also been backed at 8/1.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: "Cameron's at the centre of a surprise political gamble which could prove costly for us. There's also early speculation about his replacement with May & Hammond backed at bigger prices for the job."
