Former health secretary Matt Hancock has revealed a text message he sent to Boris Johnson after Liz Truss resigned as prime minister. Last month, Ms Truss resigned as PM after just 45 days in the office.
Her predecessor Mr Johnson left a holiday in the Caribbean and headed back to the UK as he was tipped to make an extraordinary comeback. He later announced that he would not be standing for the Tory leadership, saying that despite having the support of the MPs required to run, he had come to the conclusion "this would simply not be the right thing to do" as “you can’t govern effectively unless you have a united party in Parliament."
After Mr Johnson stepped down as a contender, Rishi Sunak was appointed Prime Minister. Mr Hancock, who arrived last week as a controversial latecomer on this year’s I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, was asked about the situation by his fellow campmates on the ITV reality show - and he revealed that he thinks Ms Truss' political career is 'over.'
