Ex-Cabinet minister Nadine Dorries has said Liz Truss should call an election if she wants to abandon key parts of Boris Johnson's agenda.
In an outspoken attack, the staunch Johnson loyalist said there was "widespread dismay" at the Prime Minister's approach, including decisions to review ideas such as privatising Channel 4 and scrapping the BBC licence fee.
Ms Dorries, who backed Liz Truss in the leadership race, seized on comments reported by the Mirror from a Conservative conference fringe event, where the author of the 2019 manifesto said the Government had no mandate.
