Rishi Sunak has revealed the Prime Minister has been blanking him since his abrupt resignation as Chancellor last month.
Mr Sunak, now bidding to become Tory leader and prime minister, provoked Boris Johnson’s downfall by being one of the first senior ministers to abandon his post in early July. At the same time, Sajid Javid quit his post as Health Secretary.
Both wrote incendiary resignation letters which said they no longer had faith in Mr Johnson after his handling of the scandal surrounding former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher. Dozens more MPs and ministers followed suit until Mr Johnson was forced to resign.
