A Tory ‘witch-hunt’ is underway to find the 17 MPs who voted to remove Boris Johnson as Prime Minister despite showering him with praise in public.
The Sunday Mirror has spoken to a number of ministers who have been publicly supportive of the Prime Minister, but who privately indicated they had voted no confidence in his leadership on Monday.
And analysis of public statements made by Conservative MPs in the days surrounding the vote found there were more who had backed him than had voted to keep him as party leader.
