Rishi Sunak has been branded a betrayer of Boris Johnson by powerful Tory cabinet member Ben Wallace.
The Defence Secretary has thrown his weight behind leadership rival Liz Truss in a move that considerably shorten Sunak’s chance of becoming Prime Minister.
Wallace criticised Sunak for “walking out the door” of Johnson’s cabinet, driving home criticisms from Tory activists that the former chancellor stabbed the Prime Minister in the back.
