NADINE Dorries has lashed out at senior Tories reportedly exploring the possibility of replacing Prime Minister Liz Truss with a joint ticket of Rishi Sunak and Penny Mordaunt.
As Paul Goodman, the Conservative Home website editor, said the pair had been floated as replacements, the former culture secretary accused scheming Tories of trying to “overturn democracy”.
Goodman's warning came as new polling showed Labour could be set to win a number of so-called "Blue Wall" safe Tory seats at the next election, as Truss's leadership is rated poorly by the public amid economic turmoil sparked by the disastrous mini budget.
