Boris Johnson was today given an Autumn deadline to save his premiership by a Tory who used to be one of his closest allies.
Lord Frost, who Mr Johnson put in the Lords and the Cabinet to negotiate Brexit, warned the PM has only months to set out a clear Conservative vision for the future or face being ousted.
The peer said despite Boris Johnson surviving a no confidence vote 211-148, he faces a "depth of opposition" in his own party.
