  Cameron can win back Tory MPs, says John Hayes
  
  David Cameron's leadership has not gone "dangerously wrong" and he
  
  should still be able to win back the full support of Conservative MPs, the
  
  Prime Minister's new parliamentary adviser insisted last night.
  
  Mr Hayes said he was confident that the recent turmoil would not prove
  
  terminal to Mr Cameron's leadership
  
  John Hayes, the former energy minister who was moved to his new position
  
  on Thursday, said his job was to reach out to disaffected backbench Tories
  
  on Mr Cameron's behalf.
  
  In recent months, there has been growing speculation that some Conservative
  
  MPs have begun plotting to replace Mr Cameron amid concerns over his leadership
  
  style and championing of controversial policies such as gay marriage.
  
  It has been alleged that 25 MPs have privately written letters calling for a vote
  
  of no confidence in the Prime Minister - more than half the number required by
  
  Conservative Party rules to trigger such a ballot.
  
  In his first interview since moving to the new role, Mr Hayes, a veteran MP on the Right
  
  wing of the Tory party, said he was confident that the recent turmoil would not prove
  
  terminal to Mr Cameron's leadership.
  
  "I don't think it has gone dangerously wrong but I think what the Prime Minister
  
  has recognised in my appointment is he wants to build the team that allows for that
  
  communication to happen," Mr Hayes said.......nah wishful new broom talk....
