Growing numbers of Tories believe Boris Johnson will face a no confidence vote as soon as next week after a drip-drip of letters demanding he quit.
Ex-leader William Hague today declared the Prime Minister is in “real trouble” and Tory MPs are “moving towards having a ballot”, “either next week or around the end of June”.
Reports emerged today that Tory whips and even the Prime Minister himself has been calling round wavering MPs in a desperate ‘save Boris’ campaign.
