'Sack Boris to stay in power' Tories to warn Theresa May against Johnson
Tory MPs are reportedly set to tell Theresa May to sack Boris Johnson
Many Tory MPs are reportedly dismayed by the Foreign Secretary’s recent conduct – and want Mrs May to display her willingness to exert discipline.
The issue is set to be raised at next Wednesday’s meeting of the executive of the party’s 1922 Committee.
Speaking to the Guardian, one member said: “There is a general feeling that there is support for her there, but I do think she needs to do a major reshuffle, and if she does not act to sack Boris and to bring some new people on board, she has a problem.”
Another added: “Some people are saying, ‘impose some discipline, show that you can sack some people’ and I think she has the authority to do that.”
It comes as Tory party chairman Grant Shapps makes clear his desire for Mrs May to step down as party leader.
