A multi-millionaire Tory tycoon is refusing to hand over £500,000 of donations from himself to the party - unless Boris Johnson is given a chance to remain Prime Minister.
Peter Cruddas - who Mr Johnson put in the Lords against official advice - said there has been a “coup” against the PM and said he should be allowed to be on the ballot for a new leader.
He told the Sunday Times: “I planned to donate a total of £500,000 this year but that is on hold and will not be paid unless the membership have a chance to vote on Boris being PM.
