The Prime Minister is being urged to shun 'siren voices' of One Nation Tories around him arguing for a much more cautious approach

His comments chimed with those of Ms Dorries, the former culture secretary, who condemned the Government’s decision not to go ahead with selling off of Channel 4.

In a string of furious tweets, the arch-critic of Mr Sunak attacked his approach to various policies put in place by Mr Johnson. “Three years of a progressive Tory government being washed down the drain,” she said. “Levelling up, dumped. Social care reform, dumped. Keeping young and vulnerable people safe online, watered down. A bonfire of EU [legislation], not happening. Sale of [Channel 4] giving back £2bn, reversed.”

She used a second tweet to hit out at the Prime Minister’s latest announcement, which would mean all young people in England“A policy at some time in the future to teach maths for longer with teachers we don’t yet even have to do so,” she wrote. “Where is the mandate – who voted for this?” And she fired a final warning shot at Mr Sunak, saying it “will now be almost impossible to face the electorate at a [general election] and expect voters to believe or trust our manifesto commitment”.
