Looks like the donors are getting restless as well:

Quote from The Express:

Theresa May is is facing growing pressure to step down as soon as a draft Brexit trade deal is agreed after it was revealed today she has lost the backing of a number of Tory party donors.

At a fundraiser last Thursday, around a quarter of the 50 Conservative financial backers present called for her resignation, according to one donor at the meeting.

This unrest comes as the Prime Minister meets with her Cabinet this morning to thrash out a position on exactly what the Government hopes to achieve from Brexit.

Several senior ministers, including Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, are pushing for a clean break from Brussels.

But others, such as Chancellor Philip Hammond, have expressed their desire to see a soft Brexit with minimal changes to the current arrangement.

The fundraising dinner in London saw several “very, very traditional donors” question Mrs May’s leadership, according to The Times, which reported a donor as saying: “Among even the most loyal middle-ranking donors there is utter despair.”
