The Sun newspaper said senior members of the party had vowed to get rid of May, but would wait at least six months because they feared a leadership contest could propel the Labour party into power under Jeremy Corbyn, who supports renationalisation of key industries and higher taxes for business and top earners.
The threat of a leadership challenge from inside her own party hangs over her head - a threat vividly underlined Sunday when her former colleague-turned-nemesis George Osborne labeled her a "dead woman walking".
If May is to honour the wish of the 52 per cent of voters who opted past year to take Britain out of the European Union, she must find a way to bridge the differences within her party. Instead, she has left Britain's government ranks in disarray, days before the divorce negotiations are due to start on June 19.
British Prime Minister Theresa May's office says talks are still in progress between her Conservatives and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) of Northern Ireland after earlier saying an agreement had been reached to support May's government.
Still, May's status remains shaky, at best, after the Conservatives' principal rival, the Labour Party, pulled off a dramatically positive showing at the ballot box Thursday.
Sinn Féin's leader in Northern Ireland Michelle O'Neill said the DUP had "betrayed the interests of the people" there and the new arrangement would "end in tears".
This would include an emphasis on jobs in the Brexit talks and a guarantee of the rights of European Union nationals to stay in UK.
What do the DUP want from a deal?
I think she will have to go, unfortunately.

Both teams also seem to be leaving Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen behind with only 67 and 45 points, respectively. Vettel had a mishap on turn two on his final fast lap or he may have had a chance to nip Hamilton for the pole.
The Times of London said in an editorial that "the election appears to have been, among other things, a rejection of the vague but harshly worded prospectus for Brexit for which Mrs".
Timothy said the party hadn't noticed the surge in Labour support "because modern campaigning techniques require ever-narrower targeting of specific voters, and we were not talking to the people who chose to vote for Labour".
The Observer newspaper said the DUP arrangement fell short of a full coalition agreement because of concerns among some Conservative lawmakers about the socially conservative DUP's positions on gay rights, abortion and climate change. We deliberately went after our core vote who duly punished us for taking them for granted, while focusing everything on the fact we thought the public liked Theresa May, sadly the more the public saw of her the less they liked her. Labour surpassed expectations by winning 262.
A confidence and supply deal would mean them backing the Government on its Budget and confidence motions, but could potentially lead to other issues being decided on a vote-by-vote basis. "Let's get on with the job", Johnson responded on Twitter.
In another sign of the dangers facing Mrs May, Sunday papers reported that Boris Johnson was either being encouraged to make a leadership bid in an effort to oust her, or actually preparing one - a claim dismissed as "tripe" by the Foreign Secretary. The party also wants to kill off the idea of a "special status" which would see Northern Ireland more closely aligned with the Republic of Ireland after Brexit.
British Prime Minister Theresa May is making appointments to her Cabinet as she tries to shore up authority undermined by a poor election result. Some say her failure means the government must now take a more flexible approach to the divorce, potentially softening the exit terms.
But she pointed out the party still fared poorly in many traditional working-class areas, and refused to give all the credit for Labour's campaign success to the veteran leftie.
"It is quite possible there will be an election later this year or early next year, and that might be a good thing because we can not".
