  Conservative knives out for George Osborne
  
  George Osborne faces a whispering campaign at the highest levels of the
  
  Conservative Party over his competence and judgment.
  
  One senior Conservative at the heart of the party told The Sunday Telegraph
  
  : 'George is the problem'
  
  The Chancellor has been personally blamed for the party's misfortunes and poor
  
  opinion poll ratings, with senior figures warning that change is needed ahead
  
  of the general election.
  
  Some critics are demanding that he should be replaced as Chancellor by
  
  William Hague, the Foreign Secretary. Such a move would be a dramatic shift
  
  for the Prime Minister, as Mr Osborne is his closest political ally.
  
  One senior Conservative at the heart of the party, speaking on condition of
  
  anonymity, told The Telegraph: "George is the problem."
  
  Concerns centre on what is perceived to be his failure to understand the middle
  
  classes, their values, and their economic struggle.
