Verwoerd warned by Brokenshiree Tendency

A leaked transcript from a meeting of the Brokeshiree Tendency of the Coalition of Conservative Unionist has revealed that some prominent MPs of the Tendency have warned Party Leader H. F. Verwoerd that if he tries to move the party away from Brokenshire's vision, he will be ousted. The Brokenshiree Tendency formed when James Brokenshire was running for leader on a moderate platform of reliability and progressiveness. It was the largest group of MPs with 145 members, but it fell to second place with 45 MPs when Brokenshire refused to step down pre-election. The largest tendency, Conservative Way Forward, which promotes traditional, strict fiscal conservatism, is said to be rapidly supporting Verwoerd and his aggressive stance. However, the other smaller tendencies, No Turning Back and Conservative Reformers, are said to be backing the Brokenshiree's which call for Verwoerd to tone down his rhetoric. 
In the leaked transcript, Helen Suzman MP, one of the most notable MPs from the Brokenshiree's, is said to have made a damning speech to her fellow MPs about the state of the party. Part of the transcript read:
"What a mess we find ourselves in. I've got thousands and hundreds of letters from concerned constituents who tell me they're unsure or supportive about Mr Verwoerd. Isn't it remarkable that Verwoerd use to be one of us? He was a key supporter of Brokenshire, if I remember correctly! Therefore, isn't it our duty to hold him to his word on this?" Later in her speech, she added, "it is clear, to me at least: tote the line, or go... I want my party to truly represent the people and we need to get back into power and quickly!"
Sources from within the Leader's Office have reportedly said that the criticism has "been taken onboard".
