Prime Minister David Cameron faces a rising Tory rebellion in Commons over Culture Secretary's scandalous expenses overspend amid accusations her repayment was too little

Pressure for the resignation of tainted Culture Secretary Maria Miller grew among the Prime Minister’s own troops at Westminster yesterday.

Rebellious rumblings spread among Tory MPs after Mr Cameron failed to act decisively and sack Ms Miller over an expenses scandal.

Demands for her resignation are expected to be voiced by some MPs at tomorrow’s meeting of the Tory backbench 1922 Committee.
