Desperate Boris Johnson is planning to cling on tightly to his premiership if Tory members back him, a Tory peer has claimed.
The PM is set to leave No10 on September 6, 24 hours after the next PM has been voted in.
But Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch, a former Conservative Party treasurer told the Telegraph, Mr Johnson "wants to fight the next general election as leader of the Conservative party".
